Compare two Purina pet giveaways open to Boston residents, then enter safely and handle prize notices without paying.
Boston residents can currently enter two no-purchase-necessary Purina pet-product giveaways: a year of pet food and a cat feeder with food coupons. These are nationwide promotions, not Boston-only drawings, so Massachusetts residency provides eligibility rather than a Boston address. "No purchase necessary" means buying cannot improve your odds.
You may still need a free account, registration, timely entry, and verification paperwork if selected.
Which giveaways are open?
Purina's "Free Year of Purina Pet Food" drawing closes Aug. 31, 2026, at 11:59:59 a.m. CT.
Eligible entrants must be at least 18, live in the United States or Washington, D.C., and belong to Purina Rewards. The Purina official rules permit one free entry through the Rewards catalog. The "Petivity Cat Feeder + 1 Year of Food" drawing closes later that day, at 11:59:59 p.m.
CT. Eligible adults in the United States and Washington, D.C., may submit one free app or Rewards-catalog entry under the Petivity giveaway rules. Because the two deadlines differ by 12 hours, treat them as separate promotions.
Check the correct rules and submit each entry before its stated cutoff.
What can each winner receive?
The pet-food drawing awards one winner a bundle of 12 dry-pet-food coupons. Purina states a maximum approximate retail value of $1,271.88, but the winner's practical value depends on which eligible products the coupons cover and whether those products suit the household's pet. The Petivity drawing awards one feeder plus 12 dry-cat-food coupons.
Purina also lists this package at an approximate retail value of $1,271.88. The prize cannot be transferred or exchanged for cash. Neither prize description promises a full year for every feeding schedule, pet size, or preferred product.
Read the coupon terms before assuming they will cover all food costs.
How should Boston residents enter?
Start with the eligibility requirements rather than the prize description. A Boston resident should confirm: Odds depend on the number of eligible entries received. Entering early may help prevent a missed deadline, but it does not improve the mathematical odds assigned to a valid entry.
- You are at least 18.
- You live in Massachusetts and otherwise meet the U.S. residency requirement.
- You have or can create the required free Purina Rewards account.
- You use the free catalog or app entry specified for that drawing.
- You submit no more than one entry per promotion.
What happens if you receive a prize notice?
For the free-year-of-food drawing, the potential winner has 144 hours to respond. Missing that window can matter even when the original entry was valid. The Petivity winner may need to provide eligibility, liability, publicity, and mailing-address verification.
These requests are different from demands for payment: legitimate verification establishes identity and eligibility but does not require a claim fee. Independently contact the named sponsor using contact information from its published materials. The Federal Trade Commission's prize guidance says never pay taxes, shipping, processing charges, or another fee to receive a prize.
How should pet-food claims be evaluated?
Do not interpret a phrase such as "FDA-approved pet food" as proof that a finished formula received premarket approval. The FDA explains its animal-health role, but final packaged pet-food formulations generally do not receive FDA premarket approval. Before using a prize coupon, check whether the food matches your pet's species, life stage, and existing diet.
If your pet has dietary restrictions or experiences a reaction, consult a veterinarian before changing or continuing the food.
