Have you noticed our NEW Loyalty Program yet? In addition to the over 100 frequent buyer programs that we already have in place (don't worry, they aren't going anywhere,) we have decided to reward our amazing loyal customers with even more savings!

For every dollar spent at Unleashed, loyalty customers earn 1 point. When you accumulate 500 points, you receive a discount day worth 20% off your entire purchase usable on any trip to Unleashed that you choose! Use your discount day when you're ready for that supplement or intolerance test or DNA test or bed or toy or extra special treats (lobster anyone?) that you've had your eye on! (You can also use it for your regular purchases too, up to you- we won't tell your pet!)

It is 100% FREE to sign up and just takes 1 click or a "yes, please include me" at the register the next time you check out! And did we mention that this is in ADDITION to the over 100 frequent buyer programs, like buy 12, get 1 FREE pet food, that we already have in place?!? So when you buy your food you are not only working on earning a FREE bag, you are also working your way to a 20% off shopping spree!

But wait, there's MORE!! Be on the lookout for special occasions where you can earn EXTRA POINTS! For example, now through July 5th, when you purchase Pet Releaf and Austin & Kat supplements- that will help your pet cope with fireworks, separation, and other anxieties that are likely this weekend- you will earn 1.5 points per dollar!

Extra note- not only will you get 1.5x points on these awesome supplements if you hurry in, they are also on sale! We really want to help you help your pets this holiday weekend!

We're introducing a new opportunity for foster pets to be featured and receive lots of attention at Unleashed at Crabtree Valley Mall!

Any foster for a rescue organization can sign up to bring their foster dog or cat to be showcased inside our store in Crabtree Valley Mall!

We are thrilled to introduce this opportunity and hope for this to be a great way to showcase all the amazing animals available within local rescue organizations, and hopefully find some fur-ever homes!

Summer Camp meets Summer School! Join Alexx Price, trainer and Unleashed employee, for engaging and informational sessions for kids and adults too!

Whether you are thinking about getting your first pet, or already have a zoo, Alexx and her dogs have something for you!

Camp Classes run the month of July- on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays from 12:30 PM - 3:00 PM.

Classes are designed so that you can join as many or as few as you can- whether you join us for the whole session or drop in for a class or two, we'd love to have you!
