We will be keeping the yearly tradition alive with another Customer Appreciation Day held at our store on Saturday November 24 during regular business hours.  We have so many wonderful customers that support our small business time after time, and now it's our turn to thank you.  Animal Hut will be offering some great sales, and a free entry to win a gift basket full of treats from Merrick Pet Food Co.!

​

To all of our furry friends:  Make sure your humans mark their calendar for Animal Hut's Customer Appreciation Day on Saturday, November 24th (to coincide with American Express Small Business Saturday)!  We will have special treats for you and your humans to enjoy.  More details on this special event to be posted in the near future.

​

We would also like to remind you that all through the month of November, local businesses (including ours) are participating in the Penn Hills Shop Local Contest.  When you shop at Animal Hut, make sure to save your receipt so that you can enter the contest.  You can visit  https://www.pennhillscdc.com/projects/shop-local-contest/ for more information on the contest.

Did you know that Animal Hut will pre-order or special order pet supplies for you at no additional cost?  It's not new, but we certainly do!

For the customer who wants to try a new item, a new flavor of a favorite item, or an uncommon size in as a collar or harness, we special order.

For the customers who know what they want, and want it to be available on schedule (ready to pick up when it's your pup's grooming day), we pre-order.  Just let us know what we can do to get you the right items when you need them.  We're a small town store with lots of ordering options!

​

Since it is March, we are doing a fun grooming raffle to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. This is the last week to enter our St. Patrick’s Day raffle for a free grooming! Stop in to get 3 chances/tickets for only $5.00!  Drawing is next Saturday!

​

We also have a new assortment of doggie raincoats in-stock, for whenever our fickle Pennsylvania weather decides to switch from snow to rain.  Keep your pup (and their freshly groomed coat) soft and dry with a raincoat!  

​

See you soon!

Anyone up for a photo contest? How about one with a prize of a $15.00 gift certificate to Animal Hut? It's easy to enter: just email a photo of you using a product from Animal Hut with your pet to animalhut1@verizon.net.  This could be a grooming product such as shampoo or a brush, a cool new toy, or offering your pet a delicious treat.  Be creative!

 

 We will upload your picture to our Facebook photo album entitled "Product Use Photo Contest". The winner will be the photo who gets the most likes by 8:00 pm on January 19, 2018. Get your family and friends to "like" your photo by going to our Facebook page, www.facebook.com/animalhutpittsburgh, clicking on our photo section, then on the album titled "Product Use Photo Contest" to find your picture. Sharing the photo on your own Facebook wall is a good way to tell your friends, but they need to like the photo in OUR album, not just on your post.

February  2016

We are proud to announce that the Animal Hut Bod Squad is up and running, and looking for participants who want to get into shape and save money!  Four-legged participants, that is.  Here is how the program works:  you (the two-legged participant) purchase a one year membership for $10, and receive all the right incentives to help your pet get back to a healthy weight.  

 

These awesome perks include:

 

  • 5% discount on ALL healthy weight or weight management foods

  • 10% discount on low calorie treats

  • 10% discount on interactive toys to encourage exercise

  • AND friendly, thoughtful advice from our knowledgeable staff.

 

 

 

All of the stress and injuries that obesity causes in humans, it causes in animals too, dogs and cats alike.  Heart disease and high blood pressure, joint pain, and even diabetes can all happen to our overweight pets.  Leave behind those high calorie treats and foods that are packed with preservatives, and join the Bod Squad!  We are on a mission to provide exceptional quality foods and toys that will improve the vigor and lifespan of your best furry friend.

 

For more information, talk to us at Animal Hut, or follow us on Facebook.

We care about your pets.
