Budget-friendly Halloween offerings from PetSmart feature iconic costumes and other pet accessories with a scary twist

PHOENIX, Aug. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Howl-o-ween is upon us and PetSmart’s new Thrills & Chills collection is here with all the tricks and treats! Whether you want your pet to be the star of the Halloween parade, the other half of your couple costume or to just show a little spooky spirit, the Thrills & Chills collection has you covered. From costumes for pets large and small, to toys and treats, products are available exclusively at PetSmart at spellbinding prices. Shop the Thrills & Chills collection in stores and online here.

“We want to make sure that all pet parents can bring their pets into the Halloween fun, and our scary good value makes that easier to do without sacrificing quality,” said James Elasky, SVP of merchandising and chief merchant at PetSmart. “PetSmart’s Thrills & Chills collection is thoughtfully curated — whether you’re trick-or-treating with your pet, bringing them to the costume party or just want to make sure they get their tasty treat too, PetSmart has items you cannot find anywhere else, all at an amazing value.”

PetSmart’s Thrills & Chills collection is a one-stop-shop for pets and pet parents to get into spooky season with products, including:

Iconic Go-To Costumes for Cats and Dogs Under $20
Cats and dogs can be the life of the party in a hilarious hot dog costume or go for a classic with this iconic pumpkin costume. If you’re looking for something a little spookier, try the monster costume, spider costume or a skeleton ombre dress.

Spooky Good Treats, Toys and Accessories Under $10
Dogs can look paw-some on their big night out for Halloween in a stylish bones bandana, or slip into their glow-in-the-dark spider socks (sure to make the trick-or-treaters scream!). If cats are staying home to help hand out candy, they can play with the pumpkin and ghost teaser toy or run through their very own fishbone pop-up tunnel toy during break time. After your dogs are done with the tricks and are in the mood for a scary good treat, they can enjoy a fa-BOO-lous cookie or rawhide alternative fingers.

Creepy Costumes and Accessories for Small Pets
Pet parents can dress up their small pets, including guinea pigs and bearded dragons, with a pint-sized skunk costume, or get a little mystical on fright night with a dragon costume. For those on another dimension, dress small pets in a one-of-a kind alien costume that is out of this world. To bring the horror to your small pet’s habitat, add a spooky bat cave bed, a bat to the bone fleece habitat liner or a gourd-geous woven corn husk pumpkin chew this season.

No matter how you’re celebrating Halloween this year, Dr. Jennifer Bruns, DVM, MPVM, PetSmart Veterinary Services, shares tips to keep pets safe as they take part in your festivities:

Trick, but no sweet treats: Reminder to keep chocolate, gum, candy and baked goods from the trick-or-treat bag away from pets! Instead, use pet-safe treats to teach your pet basic commands to keep them away from candy.Make sure their costume fits just right: If your pet looks uncomfortable in their costume, they probably are, so pay extra attention. Watch for elastic features around the paw area and be certain there is enough room around the widest area of the chest. Costumes should not cover the eyes or nose and should not be too tight. If a dog or cat can easily trip over the legs, try another type of costume. Comfort and safety are key!Keep nervous pets inside to avoid triggers: Ahead of peak trick-or-treating hours, keep your pet indoors so they don’t risk getting spooked by masked adults or children. Remember to watch your pet around the front door as you open it to trick-or-treaters to ensure they don’t make a run for it. Whether you’re at home or outside, make sure your cat or dog has a microchip, collar, or ID tag in case they do get lost.

Supporting Local Independent Music Venues and Artists

DALLAS, Sept. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Dallas based Mullen & Mullen Law Firm proudly announces the launch of the Mullen & Mullen Music Project, a dynamic initiative created in partnership with Spune Productions. The collaboration is designed to celebrate and rejuvenate the North Texas music scene by offering a platform for both emerging and established artists. The initiative kicked off with a Concert Series at local independent music venues.

Supporting Local Talent and Venues
Running from August to April, the Mullen & Mullen Music Project will feature 12 concerts at some of North Texas’s most cherished venues. The series kicked off on August 6th with a performance by Ben Nichols of Lucero at Club Dada. The Quaker City Night Hawks made their triumphant return at Tulips FTW on August 30th after a touring hiatus. The Quaker City Night Hawks concert was filmed on professional grade video cameras installed at the venue by the Music Project and live-edited by the firm’s videographer Sean Pollaro – himself a musician. The new cameras at Tulips FTW will serve as a wonderful content creation tool for local artists.

Enhancing the Music Experience
The Music Project has allowed participating venues to expedite substantial upgrades already underway. Ferris Wheelers Live has enhanced its suites and stage while embarking on an ambitious Ferris Wheel lighting project. Club Dada has upgraded its outdoor patio stage, and Tulips FTW installed the beforementioned state-of-the-art video and streaming system, enabling artists to record music and stream live performances. Each venue will also feature new murals designed and created by local artists.

A Community-Centered Initiative
Shane Mullen, Managing Attorney at Mullen & Mullen Law Firm, shared the firm’s vision: “The trust and loyalty of the North Texas community have been the foundation of our success. This project is our way of giving back by enriching the local cultural landscape and supporting the artists and venues that make our region unique.”

Corey Pond, General Manager of Spune Productions, added: “This initiative addresses the challenges faced by the indie music scene, providing more opportunities for local artists and supporting our cherished venues. It underscores the power of community, collaboration, and the enduring spirit of local music.”
