Pet Product Giveaways in Winston-Salem, NC: Updated 2026 List for Local Winners

Winston-Salem, NC pet owners have four verified options for fall 2026: an in-store birthday reward, two national prize drawings open locally, and neighborhood pantry help. This list shows who qualifies, what each offers, and when to act. A Gotcha Day means an adoption anniversary.

That date matters for one reward below, while the other options turn on age, location, purchase timing, or need.

Verification note: Program terms and availability can change. This page was checked against linked sources on October 27, 2026.

Which prize drawings can you enter locally?

Valley Vet Supply invites online entries for its Fall Gratitude Giveaway. Twenty winners receive animal-care prize packages worth over $6,000 combined. Entries close November 30, 2026, with winners announced December 3, but winners pay shipping.

Ollie offers a separate chance to win a high-value dog bowl. Ten winners each receive a Baccarat Crystal Louxor bowl valued at $1,700, with delivery timed for Thanksgiving. Winston-Salem residents age 18 and older in the contiguous U.S.

can enter through a Holiday Feast purchase from October 8 to November 3, 2026 or through a handwritten mail entry postmarked by November 3, as described in the Ollie holiday giveaway rules. Both are chances to win, not free items for every entrant. Enter the bowl drawing only if you already plan the qualifying purchase or will mail the card on time.

How does the PetSmart birthday reward work?

PetSmart Treats Rewards members can register a pet birthday or Gotcha Day date plus email opt-in. During that month, the member receives 1,000 bonus points worth $2 plus a one-time 2x points on treats. The benefit is redeemable at participating stores including Winston-Salem, according to the PetSmart birthday and Gotcha Day details.

Register the date before the birthday month starts. Email opt-in must stay active through the reward period. This is the only item on this list that every qualified member receives.

The other national offers award a set number of winners.

Where can you get pet food or winter supplies?

Forsyth Humane Society keeps a Pet Food Pantry page for Winston-Salem pet owners. Listed partners include Love Community Development on N. Liberty St.

and Little Angels at City with Dwellings. The Society advises callers to confirm hours before pickup, as noted in the Forsyth Humane pet food pantry directory. Bring ID, proof of address, and a list of pet food needs when you call.

Ask about limits on visits, amounts, and cat versus dog food. A separate winter program helps low-income Forsyth County residents move outdoor dogs inside during cold weather. Through UNchain Winston, Forsyth Humane Society and the Animal Adoption and Rescue Foundation provide free dog houses, crates, and straw bedding to households that qualify.

Ask about income rules, outdoor-housing need, and supply availability before cold nights arrive.

Why should most locals skip the military sweepstakes?

Purina Military Pet Club runs an October Sweepstakes with four pet DNA kit prizes for entries made by October 31, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. ET. The sponsor timekeeping controls the October 1 to 31 entry window.

Membership in the Military Pet Club is required. Winston-Salem civilians without that eligibility cannot win. Use the open birthday reward, the two fall drawings, or local pantry help instead.

Do not share military credentials or pay a third party for entry help. If a message claims you won without entering, delete it.

What deadlines and entry limits apply?

Fall timing is tight. Check purchase dates, postmarks, and account settings now rather than near the cutoff. Call the pantry partner on the morning you plan to pick up food.

• Ollie purchase or mail entry: October 8 to November 3, 2026, mail postmarked by November 3, age 18-plus, 48 contiguous states plus D.C.
• Purina military-only entry: October 1 to 31, 2026, members only, four DNA kit prizes.
• Valley Vet entry: online form by November 30, 2026, winners announced December 3, winners pay shipping, as listed on the Valley Vet giveaway page.
