PetSmart leverages social media for first-ever Inspiration Waggin’ tour

PetSmart is hitting the road for its first-ever Inspiration Waggin’ six-city tour in the United States and Canada, and is leveraging social media to promote it.



As the truck makes its way across the country, dogs, puppies and cats will visit retirement centers, university campuses and local spots so people can benefit from a wagging tail and some unconditional love. The Inspiration Waggin’ will make stops in:

• Los Angeles: May 9


• Phoenix: May 12


• Dallas: May 14


• Chicago: May 16


• Toronto : May 20


• New York City: May 22

“The purpose of the Inspiration Waggin’ tour is to bring pet-inspired moments to people across the country,” said president and CEO David Lenhardt. “PetSmart is all about creating more moments for people to be inspired by pets with our unique products, services and experiences, and the Inspiration Waggin’ is a great example of our commitment to this mission.”



Pet lovers throughout the U.S. and Canada are encouraged to follow the Inspiration Waggin’ journey at http://www.inspiredbypets.com/tour-tracker and to share their own pet-inspired moments using hashtag #inspiredbypets on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
