How AAA Pet Discounts Can Support Pet Adoptions

Article overview

This article covers how AAA Members can save money on essential pet supplies and use those savings to support local animal shelters. 

Key sections include:

• How to save on pet supplies: A breakdown of discounts available with your AAA Membership including food, toys, grooming tools and bedding

• How to give back: Simple ways members can support local shelters and pet adoption drives using their savings

Bringing home a new pet is one of life's best decisions. But between food, bedding, toys and grooming supplies, the startup costs can add up fast. That's where your AAA Membership comes in.

AAA Members can save on the supplies their new pet needs, or purchase supplies to support local shelters still waiting to find animals their forever homes.

How AAA Members can save on pet supplies

Bringing your adopted pet home can be a daunting process on top of all the supplies you'll need to give them a great home. AAA can help members with the transition via savings at national and local retailers. 

AAA Members can earn cash back on everyday purchases at top online retailers like Chewy, 1-800-PetMeds, PetCo and more through AAA Discounts. Whether you're stocking up for a newly adopted dog or shopping for a rescue cat settling into your home, your membership helps stretch every dollar further.

Here are some of the essential items you can save on:

• Food: Quality nutrition is the foundation of a happy, healthy pet. Use your AAA Membership to stock up on kibble, wet food or breed-specific formulas without breaking the bank.

• Toys: A bored pet is a destructive pet. Rope toys, puzzle feeders and chew toys keep your new companion mentally stimulated and physically active.

• Grooming tools: Brushes, nail clippers and shampoo are must-haves from day one. Starting a grooming routine early helps your pet feel comfortable and saves on future grooming bills.

• Bedding: Beds, blankets and crates help your new companion feel safe and settled in their new environment. Every pet deserves a cozy place to sleep. Especially ones who haven’t found their fur-ever home yet.

How AAA savings can support pet adoption drives and shelters

Here's where your membership can make an even bigger difference. Local animal shelters often run on limited budgets, relying heavily on community donations to keep animals fed, comfortable and healthy while they wait for adoption.

By saving and earning cash back on pet supplies through your AAA discounts, you're in a better position to donate a portion of those items directly to a shelter near you.

A few simple ways to give back:

• Buy one, donate one: When stocking up on food or toys for your pet, grab an extra bag or pack to drop off at your local shelter.

• Check a shelter's wish list: Most shelters publish a list of their most needed items. Food, blankets and cleaning supplies are almost always at the top.

• Volunteer at an adoption event: Pet Adoption Support Day isn't just about goods—shelters also need people to help at events, socialize animals and spread the word.

• Share discount opportunities: Know someone thinking about adopting? Point them to AAA Discounts so they can save on supplies too.
