Petco's first-ever Free Doggie Ice Cream Day gives out free pup cups to rewards members.
This giveaway gets you one free frozen treat for your dog if you're a member of Petco's free rewards program, called Vital Care. The freebie you'll get depends on what your store offers — it could be a Ben & Jerry's Doggie Dessert (regularly $1.94), a YoPup Frozen Yogurt Cup (regularly $3.99), or another brand.
Petco has never done a company-wide ice cream giveaway before, so this is a completely new perk for rewards members.
Petco Free Doggie Ice Cream Day is happening Sunday, July 20, in stores only.
As confirmed in a press release, the doggie ice cream giveaway will take place on Sunday, July 20, 2025, at participating Petco locations during regular store hours. This is an in-store-only promotion, so you'll need to visit your local Petco with your dog to claim the free treat. Also make sure you're a rewards member before you show up — you can sign up online on July 20, and still get your freebie.
You'll get one free doggie ice cream per rewards account (it's free to join).
You need to be a Petco Rewards member to qualify for the free doggie ice cream. Membership is free at the basic Vital Care Core level. If you're not already a member, you can sign up online, in the Petco app, or at any Petco store on or before July 20.
The promotion is limited to one free doggie ice cream per rewards account, and Petco rewards membership also includes other perks like exclusive discounts and special member pricing.
This freebie is only available while supplies last, so head to the store early.
This promotion is only available while supplies last, so visiting earlier in the day gives you the best chance of securing a free treat. The exact type and flavor of frozen treat depends on what your local Petco carries in stock. You'll want to bring your dog along to enjoy their special treat, and since supplies are limited, don't wait until later in the day to visit.
