Petco Announces "Make a Scene" Photo Contest Winners Ahead of Spooktacular Holiday

The $10,000 grand prize was awarded to @justmangobrown, depicted in a photo scene as a chef with his pet parent disguised as his cravable burger creation. This year's contest drew more applicants than ever before, with more than 3,400 pet parents submitting photos of their costumed pet in a unique scene.      

"Watching the amazing photos roll in is a treat in and of itself," said David Hallisey, Petco vice president, corporate communications. "At Petco, we understand holidays are better with pets and Halloween is no exception. We're already looking forward to next year's entries."
