If you’re looking for an easy outing with the kids—or just want to do something fun with your pets—Petco is worth checking out. I love that their stores often have little activities and animal experiences going on, and some events even include free samples. I’ll keep this Petco events calendar updated each month so you can see what’s coming up before you make a trip.
