"We're excited to celebrate this significant milestone with KONG, our stores and our neighbors," said Chris Rowland, Chief Executive Officer of Pet Supplies Plus and Wag N' Wash. "KONG products have been helping to enrich dogs' lives for fifty years and it's our privilege to celebrate that through our in-store events, giveaways, and promotions that neighbors can participate in throughout the month."

This campaign reinforces Pet Supplies Plus' mission of providing pet parents with affordable, accessible products that support mental stimulation and safe play for their pets. It also reflects the strength of the brand's retail partnerships that help ensure neighbors have the right options for their furry friends.

KONG was created in 1976 to encourage dogs to play with toys made of safe, durable rubber materials. These toys give dogs a fun outlet for their energetic nature, promoting positive behavior while providing mental stimulation and physical enrichment during play. KONG products are available at Pet Supplies Plus and Wag N' Wash stores nationwide, or online at https://www.petsuppliesplus.com/brands/kong.
