Chewy Canada has entered into a partnership with Maple Leafs Sports & Entertainment to provide unique pet-focused rewards and experiences for fans throughout the 2024-2025 hockey season. As the official pet retail partner, Chewy Canada is blending hockey enthusiasm with a passion for pets by launching initiatives such as a 'Most Valuable Pet' contest and interactive in-arena activations at Scotiabank Arena. The contest allows fans to share their pets’ special skills and hockey spirit for a chance to win prizes, which adds an interactive, social media-driven aspect to the experience. This includes exciting rewards such as Leafs tickets, memorabilia, and pet-related prizes.
The partnership is designed to engage both human and pet fans with a season-long campaign. Chewy Canada is also offering exclusive discounts on Toronto Maple Leafs-branded pet merchandise through its dedicated online shop and in-game activations.
