This October, participating Petco stores across Nevada are hosting Petcoween events that give pets and their people a reason to get out together, from costume contests and Halloween photo opportunities to a fresh-food sampling event for curious pups. The festivities begin Saturday, October 17th, with Petcoween Costume Contests, followed by Petcoween Photo Ops and Tastes of Petco: Fresh Finds on Saturday, October 24th. If you’re planning a seasonal outing with your dog, these in-store events offer a low-key way to celebrate together. You can also browse seasonal pet costumes, toys and other holiday finds at [Petco.com](https://www.petco.com/) while getting a head start on Halloween and holiday shopping. ## Dress Up for Petcoween On Saturday, October 17th, participating Petco stores will host Petcoween Costume Contests from 2 to 4 p.m. Pets can compete for titles including Most Spooktacular, Best Monster Match and Hauntingly Original. A designated photo spot will give pets and their people a chance to capture a Halloween keepsake, too. Whether your dog is ready to go all out in costume or prefers a simple seasonal accessory, it’s an opportunity to enjoy the spirit of Halloween alongside other local pet lovers. ## Fresh Finds for Food-Curious Pups On Saturday, October 24th, Tastes of Petco: Fresh Finds invites dogs and their people to stop by participating stores between 2 and 4 p.m. The event will feature a fresh-food offering from Hill’s Science Diet, along with information about the nutritional benefits of fresh food and how it can be used as a meal topper. For pet parents who have been curious about adding fresh food to their dog’s meals, the sampling event offers a chance to learn more. As always, food choices should take a dog’s individual nutritional needs into account. ## Capture a Petcoween Memory Also on Saturday, October 24th, participating Petco stores will host a Petcoween Photo Op from 2 to 4 p.m. Bring your pet to pose at the Halloween-themed photo spot and take home a seasonal memory. It’s a simple option for dogs who enjoy getting out with their people, whether or not they’re dressed for the occasion. ## Find a Participating Nevada Store The following Petco locations list Petcoween events on their store calendars.
