Hot on the heels of their doggie ice cream giveaway in July, Petco is offering more in-store freebies in August, and the next one is even simpler. Just walk into any Petco location on Aug. 23 and get free samples of Instinct raw pet food.
No rewards membership required, and no purchase is necessary. If you're already hunting for ways to stretch your pet budget, this is definitely worth adding to your list, along with another freebie Petco has lined up for the last weekend of August. (We're tracking freebie deals at lots of other stores too.)
Petco Freebie Month features in-store giveaways and free samples of pet food during the month of August.
To celebrate their 60th anniversary, Petco has lots of freebies and in-store events lined up for the month of August.
So far, we've already seen them offer free dog treats from their Treat Bar on Dogust 1 (Aug. 1), to commemorate the universal shelter dog birthday, plus host a gift bag giveaway that happened on Saturday, Aug. 16.
The next Petco Freebie (free samples of Instinct pet food) is happening on Saturday, Aug. 23.
According to Petco's website, a bunch of Petco freebies are happening in stores in August 2025. On Saturday, Aug. 23, they're giving out free samples of Instinct raw pet food. Additional free samples (of different brands) will be available on Aug. 30.
Unlike Petco's ice cream giveaway that had limited quantities, this one doesn't mention supply restrictions, so you shouldn't need to rush there first thing in the morning.
No rewards membership or purchase is required for these Petco freebies.
The deal is simpler than most Petco promotions. You don't need to be a Petco rewards member, you don't need to buy anything, and you don't need to bring proof of anything. Just visit in-store during one of the events to claim your freebie.
Additional Petco freebies are coming later in August if you miss this one.
If the upcoming Petco freebie doesn't work for your schedule, Petco has two more in-store giveaways planned for the coming weeks. They're giving out free samples of Merrick or JustFoodforDogs pet food on Saturday, Aug. 30, and you can pick up free pumpkin spice pup cups on Tuesday, Aug. 26 from 6 - 8 p.m.
