PetSmart knows that pets don't just look better after being groomed, they feel better too, allowing their true personalities to shine and helping them to stand out to potential adopters. Since starting the Prep the Pet program two years ago, nearly 85% of pets groomed and pampered by PetSmart's salon stylists were adopted the following weekend, proving that a little extra care goes a long way.

"For these shelter pets, a grooming session is more than a makeover, it's a time for them to be loved on and connect with another person," said Ashley Beltz, PetSmart in-store experience program manager and certified master groomer. "It's amazing to see how a grooming experience transforms these pets, and our Prep the Pet program allows our stylists to share their talents to help pets in need. We're happy to help adoptable pets find loving families as we head into the holiday season."

More than 6.5 million pets enter shelters each year. With the power of grooming, PetSmart is helping as many of these shelter pets as possible find loving homes before the holidays to ensure families can experience the joy of the season with a pet.

All pets can enjoy the benefits of professional grooming from PetSmart salon stylists. PetSmart offers an array of salon services from baths and haircuts to PAWdicures and teeth brushing, meeting the needs of all cats and dogs. To book a pet makeover, pet parents can visit petsmart.com/grooming.
