When we go visit my mom in North Carolina, we have a list of places we always check out. One of them is the pet store.

I’m not sure how it became a thing – we have a pet store at home that we never go to. But, at Gamas, we go to the pet store.

It’s fun to look at all of the different animals and supplies and it’s always so exciting for my kids. After the popularity of my grocery store scavenger hunt, I just had to make one for the pet shop, too!

I am thrilled to introduce you to my Pet Store Scavenger Hunt and offer a free printable to make organizing your adventure a breeze!

How to Organize Your Pet Store Scavenger Hunt

Creating a memorable pet store scavenger hunt is easy with a little preparation.

Here’s my top tips to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience:

• Choose the Right Pet Store: Select a pet store that’s large enough to offer a variety of clues but safe for families to navigate. Consider the layout and the types of pets and products available.
• Set a Time Limit: Keep the hunt exciting with a time limit. Adjust the duration to fit the number of clues and the size of the store to keep participants engaged without feeling rushed.
• Educate and Entertain: Use this opportunity to teach kids about different pets, their care requirements, and interesting facts about animals. Each clue can be a learning moment.
• Safety First: Ensure the store is okay with hosting your scavenger hunt and that participants know to be respectful of the animals and other customers. Provide guidelines for interacting with pets and store merchandise.
