You don’t need to go far for a playcation with your pet. Heck, you don’t even need to leave the comforts of your home or backyard, especially when your dog is stoked to get in a lap around the block. Animals have a way of being content with simple pleasures and reminding us that running around with a ball or chasing a piece of yarn can be endlessly entertaining.

In the spirit of having fun with your pet (and saving some cash), Petco is hosting a Summer Playcation Eventnow through August 22, with up to 50% off clearance items. While you're looking for the perfect plushie, you can also stock up on necessities like food and treats.
