Hartz Giveaway

Animals are something I care immensely about. I will not tolerate any cruelty to animals whatsoever. I also wish I could adopt and rescue every pet in the world, but unfortunately I can't (and my landlord wouldn't let me either, haha.) I feel very strongly in taking a stand to make sure that animals from shelters are placed in good homes and taken care of to the fullest.



National Pet Week (May 1-7) is underway! And in celebration, The Hartz Mountain Corporation is releasing its first-ever Hartz Pet Trend Report. Hartz polled pet parents to better understand what they think about pet topics and gain insight into their relationships with their pets -- and found that pet parents had a lot to say. The first report revealed that pet parents are four times as likely to say they’ll rescue a pet before going to a breeder or pet store. Here’s more..

Pet owners favor rescue societies. More than half of pet owners (60 percent) surveyed say they’d prefer to get their next pet from a rescue society. A majority of pet owners agree that pet stores are “out of favor,” with a mere four percent saying that’s where they prefer to go to find their next pet.

Personality, not pedigree, matters most. Two-thirds of pet owners (65 percent) surveyed say “personality” is the most important characteristic of a pet. And almost all pet owners (98 percent) say they look beyond pedigree or physical appearance.

A pet’s life is a life worth saving. What is the role of pets in American life? Nearly half of pet owners (47 percent) surveyed say their pet is like a child to them. And two out of five (42 percent) say they would compare their pet to a good friend.

With 8-10 million cats and dogs entering shelters each year, there is a great need for pet adoption. To help bring much needed resources to these animals, Hartz will be donating products to 45 animal shelters nationwide in honor of National Pet Week.



To celebrate National Pet Week, Hartz wants to offer an awesome gift basket of products that your pet will go crazy for!



The basket includes:
Home Protection Training Pads, Crunch ‘n Clean Biscuits, DuraPlay Bone, Nodor Litter Spray, Crunch ‘n Clean Cat Treats, and Midnight Crazies.
