Pet parents have reason to wag their tails at Target for National Pet Month! Every family knows that our canines and felines are more than just pets…they’re part of the family.
And, as part of the family, they get spoiled to all of the things a child would get — including birthday parties, toys and treats. And the popular retailer is sharing the love of pets with a giveaway for one day.

On May 16, 2026, Target is celebrating National Pet Month with a FREE Dog or Cat Giveaway Kit at participating locations — from noon to 4 p.m.
Limit one bag per customer, while supplies last.
The giveaway is available at most locations. However, you may want to double-check participation before making plans.
Spring brings warm sunshine, cool breezes and lots of reasons to celebrate — including Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, graduations, weddings and more.
And, no matter the occasion, one of the most appreciated presents is a gift card. It’s quick and easy for the giver and lets the recipient enjoy exactly what they want from a favorite restaurant or retailer.

Besides the winter holidays, there is only one other time of the year that gift card bonuses abound — springtime! It’s the perfect opportunity to stretch your budget by taking advantage of bonus cards with the purchase of a gift card.
Most bonus offers are only available online. However, others may be available both online and in-restaurant. Please double-check before purchasing.
In addition, many (if not, all) bonus cards or coupons have restrictions and/or requirements upon redeeming. Always review the fine print before buying.
