MCLEAN, Va., Sept. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As one of the world's largest food and pet companies and the authority on Halloween in the United States, Mars, Incorporated is ensuring both people and their pets can celebrate the season together.

Approximately 43% of U.S. pet owners plan to include their pets in Halloween festivities this year, according to a recent Ipsos and Mars survey.  Inspired by this trend, Mars, the authority on Halloween and maker of more than 40 beloved snacking, food, and pet brands in the U.S., including M&M'S®, SNICKERS®, Ben's Original™, PEDIGREE®, and TEMPTATIONS™, is unveiling its first-ever, limited edition Halloween themed Mars Tails & Treating Packs, which offer iconic Mars confectionery favorites for people alongside Mars treats for dogs and cats.

"As a family-owned company, at Mars we know holidays mean more when we can celebrate together," said Tim LeBel, Chief Halloween Officer and President of Sales at Mars Wrigley North America — a division of Mars, Incorporated. "We're excited to give Americans the chance to extend spooky season celebrations to their beloved pets with our Mars Tails & Treating Packs — a first-of-its kind product innovation that only a company like Mars can offer."

In celebration of this limited-time offer, and to help further the Mars Petcare purpose: A BETTER WORLD FOR PETS™, Mars is donating $10,000 to the PEDIGREE Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to helping adoptable dogs find loving homes.

Each Mars Tails & Treating pack includes: five bags of Share Size Milk Chocolate M&M'S,  five Full Size SNICKERS Chocolate candy bars, and five SKITTLES® Original Fruity Candy share size bags for humans, along with one pack of GREENIES™ Dental Treats for dogs (consumers can select size Teeny – Large depending on pet size), one pack of GREENIES™ Cat Dental Treats, three packs of PEDIGREE Drizzlers™ Savory Sauce  (assorted flavors) for dogs, and one box of TEMPTATIONS Lickable Spoons treats for cats.

Candy for people and treats for pets are packaged in sperate containers within the Mars Tails & Treating packs, making it easy to store human and pet treats separately and consume safely.
