# Pet-Inspired Proposal Initiatives Chewy Celebrated Engaged Couples with Their Pets By Kalin Ned | Published 2024-02-23 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/engaged-couples References: [be.chewy](https://be.chewy.com/pet-posals/)  Petcare brand [Chewy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chewy-2) launched a campaign aimed at celebrating engaged couples who include their pets in proposals or engagement photos. The initiative is an interesting and heartwarming gesture. By encouraging engaged couples to share their "pet-posals" on social media using #ChewyPetposals, Chewy aims to engage with its community and alleviate some of the financial burdens associated with pet ownership. The prizes offered through this campaign include $1,000 Chewy eGift cards and surprise gifts, which means they can significantly benefit pet owners amidst the often costly process of wedding planning. Chewy's special campaign coincides with the period between Thanksgiving and Valentine's Day, which is considered to be peak season for engagements, as indicated by statistics from the [National Diamond Syndicate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-tinpup) and [Signet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/worth-the-wait) Jewelers. Moreover, the campaign taps into the growing trend of including pets in weddings, as evidenced by a survey cited by Chewy.
