BOBS from Skechers x Petco Launches Coordinated Line of Pet Accessories and Shoes

Pet parents and their furry friends can now dress up in BOBS together to help save shelter pets! Skechers and Petco have launched a new coordinated line of BOBS from Skechers footwear and Petco-exclusive collars, leashes and harnesses at more than 600 Petco retail stores and petco.com. For every purchase of BOBS from Skechers footwear or pet accessories, Skechers and Petco will make a donation to the Petco Foundation to help shelter pets across the United States.

“This coordinated line is a natural extension of our BOBS from Skechers collection,” said Michael Greenberg, president of Skechers. “More importantly, having BOBS for Dogs and BOBS for Cats products available in Petco for the first time will introduce BOBS’ philanthropic movement to a new audience who may not be familiar with our efforts to help shelter animals. To be in front of pet lovers where they shop is exciting, both for our brand and for the dogs and cats that will benefit from our charity partnership with the Petco Foundation.”

“Pet parents are always looking for new ways to express how much they love their animals, so we’re thrilled to introduce this special new collection at Petco,” said Alex Tomey, Co-Chief Merchandising Officer for the national pet specialty retailer. “We’ve never sold human shoes at Petco before, but we think pet parents will love the ability to combine their own BOBS from Skechers styles with matching collars, leashes and harnesses for their beloved pets, plus the feel-good opportunity to help shelter pets with each purchase.”

Skechers’ partnership with the Petco Foundation is its newest commitment to improving animals’ lives through BOBS from Skechers. Since 2016, Skechers has donated more than $3.4 million to support shelter pets, funds which have helped more than 583,000 shelter pets, including saving the lives of more than 241,000 rescued animals in the United States.

Now a year-round lifestyle brand, Skechers’ iconic BOBS collection features popular dog breeds, cartooned animal mosaics, and world-famous personalities like Garfield, Grumpy Cat, and Scooby-Doo – as well as apparel from its recently launched animal-themed casual and sleepwear collections.
