Petco’s Big Weekend Makeover Hits Las Vegas on November 15–16 with Freebies and Adoption Events

Dog lovers and pet parents across Las Vegas have plenty to look forward to as Petco prepares to reopen three of its valley locations with a family-friendly celebration on Saturday, November 15, and Sunday, November 16. The two-day event promises interactive animal encounters, special promotions, adoption opportunities, and a first look at the upgraded stores — transforming a routine shopping trip into a lively community occasion.

Interactive Animal Encounters

Petco is putting experience front and center with innovative habitat viewing tunnels designed to give visitors a closer look at reptiles and small animals. These immersive walk-throughs offer children and adults the rare chance to observe species from new vantage points, creating a playful, educational setting inside the store. Staff say the redesign is all about deepening the connection between pets and the people who love them, making animal care more engaging and accessible for families.

The tunnels add an unexpected twist to the grand re-opening, turning the stores into miniature discovery spaces. For many young visitors, it may be their first time seeing reptiles and small mammals up close, and the setup encourages curiosity while promoting responsible pet ownership. It’s a thoughtful addition to Petco’s push to reimagine what a modern pet store can be.

Free Activities and Special Promotions

Running from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday and 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday, the celebration will feature a range of exclusive offers available only during the grand re-opening weekend. Shoppers can take advantage of $10 off any $30 purchase, making it an ideal moment to stock up on food, treats, toys, or grooming essentials.

Early visitors will also receive free goodie bags while supplies last, filled with surprises for pets and their owners. Meanwhile, adoption events led by Petco Love, the nonprofit that has helped connect more than 6.75 million pets with families, will give the community a chance to meet adoptable dogs and cats in need of homes. Adoption coordinators will be on site both days to help guide families through the process and answer questions from prospective pet parents.

Making the Most of Your Visit

Families hoping to snag a goodie bag or explore the viewing tunnels without heavy foot traffic may want to arrive early. Pets are welcome at all three locations, and the stores are equipped with the necessary sanitation and waste-disposal stations to ensure a comfortable visit.

The grand re-opening comes as part of Petco’s broader effort to expand community programming throughout 2025, including free in-store tastings, animal-care demonstrations, and educational workshops aimed at helping newcomers and experienced pet owners alike.

A Commitment to Animal Welfare

Petco Love’s presence at the event highlights the company’s long-standing commitment to supporting shelters and reducing euthanasia nationwide. Since its founding in 1999, the organization has invested more than $375 million into rescue initiatives, veterinary care, and adoption support. The charity’s Petco Love Lost database continues to reunite missing pets with their families, giving the grand re-opening weekend a meaningful purpose beyond celebration and shopping.

By featuring adoptable animals at each location, the Las Vegas stores are helping alleviate pressure on local rescues facing ongoing capacity strains. For many families, this weekend could be the moment they meet their newest four-legged family member.
