We got our first dog Gwen in 2013. She was a hound mix and such a perfect first dog for our family. In 2021, we added Max, a blue healer mix, who was quite the fun challenge. When we got Gwen she was already one year old and housebroken. When we got Max, he was only two months old and a little puppy. He did shake things up around here but, now at two years old, he is the sweetest thing and I am so glad we have him. Sadly, Gwen crossed the Rainbow Bridge a little before Christmas and we miss her so much.
If you have a dog or any pet, you will need to buy them supplies. From food to bedding to toys. You have to love the dog toys, I know Max does!
Luckily, there are quite a few places that sell things for pets with a military discount. Here are four of them. Happy shopping!
PetSmart
PetSmart not only offers pet supplies but also grooming, a pet hotel, doggie day camp, training, and more. You can save 10% on grooming on Tuesdays, and 10% on overnight stays at their PetsHotel as a military discount. They also have a deal for every new customer where you can receive one free night on multi-night stays.
PetSmart began with its first superstores opening in 1987, although they opened with the name, PetFood Warehouse. They changed the name to PetSmart a year later. They offered pet food in large quantities for lower prices and allowed you to bring your pet into the store with you, which was a new concept at the time.
A Pup Above
A Pup Above uses whole, human-grade ingredients in their dog food. You can buy dry food or fresh food, with flavors like Texas Beef Stew, or Porky’s Porchetta. They offer a 20% military discount. You would need to send them an email and you would then receive a code. A Pup Above was founded in 2018 by Ruth and Javier Marriott and their own doggy, Lola. They were tired of not knowing what was in Lola’s food so they created their own.
BullyStick.com
At BulyStick.com you can find bully sticks, which are protein-rich, all-natural dog chews made from 100% beef. They can be ideal for keeping your pup busy and out of trouble. They offer a 15% military discount to use on their website. You can use the coupon once every 7 days and the discount is open to active duty, veterans, and dependants.
Petmate
At Petmate you can find their popular kennels as well as bedding, pet steps and ramps, training tools, feeding and watering supplies, grooming items, and more. They offer a 20% military discount. Petmate began with a focus on providing safe pet transportation. They started with their first wood crate in 1964 and with their first plastic kennel in 1973. They officially started doing business as Petmate in 2009, and have been growing ever since. While the military discount is for their website, you can also find their products at stores such as Petco and PetSmart.
