Free Pet Disaster Starter Kit

Free Pet Disaster Starter Kit

The IFAW is giving away a free pet disaster starter kit. I'm not entirely sure what's included in this, but here's what they have to say:

If disaster struck tomorrow, would you be prepared to safely evacuate with your pets? Be ready with IFAW's free pet disaster starter kit. Sign up, and you'll receive an emergency go bag for your pet's medications and key documents, and a printed checklist of everything to pack.

So at the bare minimum we're getting a pet go bag and a printed checklist.

PINCHme offers free products, with free shipping and no credit card requires, on the 2nd Tuesday of each month. All they ask for is your honest feedback on the products you receive. Every month, new freebies and samples are released on PINCHme.com for members to claim. Many items have been offered in beauty, snacks, baby, pet, personal care, cleaning products, and household categories over the past few years. There's something for everyone!

Note available samples are based on your demographics and how you answer their survey questions, so if you have a pet, then make sure you tell PINCHme so you'll get the pet food and toys offered. Regardless, both new and existing PINCHme members should have at least a few available freebies within the hour, so make sure to go request them all at noon before they run out!


Free KittenWise Sample Box

Possible Free KittenWise Sample Box or Toy

If you're somebody who leaves empty boxes and bags all over your home (meaning you own a cat!), then be sure to try your luck with this free instant win game offering a free KittenWise sample box! According to their official rules, they're giving away 28,190 boxes worth $11.17 each and another 13,100 Temptation Playtime snacky mouse toys worth $4.29 each.

I filled out the address form, then spun the wheel and instantly won one of the prize boxes! The boxes will contain a variety of samples from brands like Greenies, Iams, Sheba, Temptations, and Nutro. This offer ends on 8/31/23 or whenever they give away all the prizes, whichever comes first.


Free Cat Crack Catnip

Free Cat Crack Catnip

Fill out this form to get your feline friend some free Cat Crack catnip.

One hit from this 100% natural, legal catnip will send your cat on a feline acrobatic frenzy.

Wait…is there illegal catnip out there? What the heck is in that stuff?!

Sadly this offer is only available to the 48 states in the continental US.


Free Delectables Licking Cat Treats

Free Delectables Lickable Cat Treats

Hartz is once again giving away 3 free Delectables Licking cat treats to those who qualify and haven't redeemed this freebie yet. They don't ask any survey questions beyond “what kind of pets do you own,” so I just signed up my feline buddies and crossed my fingers.

I posted this last December, but it's still active for anybody who missed out earlier!

May 2023 Update: Both of my cats absolutely loved these treats when they arrived and now I have them in their rotation of late night snacks.


Free ASPCA Pet Safety Pack

Free Pet Safety Window Decals

This free ASPCA pet safety pack is a classic offer that's still active. I posted this free pet window decal first in 2008 and yet here it is, active as ever. If you don't have a pet rescue window decal up on your house yet, or an Animal Poison Control Center magnet, then I'd definitely sign up for this freebie. It's such an easy, free way to make your dog, cat, or pet safe in the middle of a fire or emergency.

I've put these up in every home I've lived in. My siblings and I even once put the correct information on them instead of creative insult names for each other! Although, now that I think about it, my old pet window cling isn't by the front door anymore. That can only mean it peeled off, fell on the floor, and was most likely eaten by one of my cats.

Looks like I need to request a new pet rescue sticker. Next to it, I'll put a HIF sticker and little drawing of me slumped over my computer and drooling. Because let's be real, if there's an emergency, I'm probably going to need to be rescued as well!

You'll need to confirm your email after requesting these. Once that's out of the way, you can expect your freebie in 8-10 weeks.


Free Pet ID Tag

Free Pet ID Tag

A company called PetScreening is offering free pet ID tags that act as a sort of “Amber Alert” for lost pets. They have two websites – FidoAlert for dogs and TabbyAlert for cats – where you can register and get a free customized pet tag (an $8 value) engraved with your pet's name and unique ID number and a QR code that is assigned to each pet.

Here's the press release from last year explaining how it works:

Any pet owner in the U.S. can enroll their pets into the free FidoAlert and TabbyAlert network and can generate SMS-text and email alerts when a pet is lost or found. Pet owners self-register their pets through the fast-and-secure platform and can enter up to 10 trusted emergency contacts. If a registered pet owner loses their pet, they can initiate a lost pet alert that sends a SMS-text message with a digital lost-pet flier to everyone in the FidoAlert and TabbyAlert network who are within a few miles of the location where the pet was lost. The text alert includes the lost pet's photo and other helpful information to create near-instantaneous awareness about the lost pet. The digital flier is shareable on social media platforms.

Every pet registered receives a free customized pet tag ($8 value) engraved with the pet's name, unique ID number and QR code that is uniquely assigned to each pet. Anyone who finds a lost pet wearing one of these tags can easily scan the QR code with a cell phone and initiate a FidoAlert or TabbyAlert, even if they are not enrolled in the Alert network. Almost instantaneously, the pet's owner and all of their trusted emergency contacts receive a SMS-text message and email notifying them that their lost pet has been found, along with information connecting them to their pet's finder.

So this is kind of similar to microchips that people have implanted into their pets for the same purpose. But this is totally free!

Free SampleSource Box

SampleSource Freebies Pack Just Released!

The next SampleSource freebie boxes released today. SampleSource freebie packs are similar to PINCHme, where Hiffers can request a box full of freebies curated to their demographic.

You will receive up to 13 free samples on a first come, first serve basis. What freebies are offered are based on the personal preference answers you provide. They just now only gave me one single freebie (Southwest Plant Taco meatless crumbles) but hey, one is better than none!

These always fly off the shelves fast, so hop to it, order a box of freebies, and make sure two of your friends are around to laugh at you while doing so.

SampleSource Free Samples Box

Remember, not everyone will qualify for every single sample. It depends on how you answer the brief questions about your shopping habits, household members, whether they own a pet, etc.

In some years, after selecting my freebies, they offered (and I declined) some magazine and eBook trials.


Free Nature’s Logic Cat Food

Free Nature’s Logic Cat Food

Last year they gave away free dog food and now we can get a printable coupon good for two free cans of Nature's Logic cat food.

Here's a store locator to see if they sell these nearby. Even if you don't have a pet, these type of freebies are great to snag and donate to a local animal shelter.

Coincidentally, I'm looking for a new home myself and would love to be taken in. I make a great snuggle companion in bed, I'll bark at your mailperson, and I've been known to eat any leftover dinner scraps.

I'm still working on the housebroken part though.
