YOUR THIRD AND FINAL CLUE IS LIVE IN OUR STORES! THIS IS FOR A CHANCE TO FIND A $500 BENSON'S GIFT CARD! 🔎🕵️‍♀️

Hidden Treats Season II Finale Clue #3 - Whis is SUPPLEMENTal, but necessary?

The clues posted this week will lead you to game pieces that are hidden in all of our stores. Don't worry, every Benson's has the same game pieces, and they will stay up in the store until the prize is found. The game pieces contain a jumbled phrase that will be needed for you to claim the prize. (Be sure to snap a picture or write down the information, as this is meant to stay in the store for others to find.)
On Friday, 10/23, the Game Master will be hiding somewhere in the Capital Region with the prize! They will be going live on Facebook throughout the day to hint at their whereabouts. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to find the Game Master and say the phrase in the correct order. The first person to do this wins the $500 Benson's Gift Card!

A little change, with a lot of heart.

At Benson’s, we believe that taking care of our team is part of taking care of our customers.

Starting Saturday, October 31, and then every Saturday after that, all Benson’s Pet Center locations will close at 6 p.m. matching our Sunday closing time. That means consistent weekend hours and a little more time for our team members to enjoy life outside of work.

We understand that even small changes take a little getting used to! For the first month, our team will be here to help customers who arrive after 6 p.m. as everyone adjusts to our new Saturday closing time.

Our commitment to you and your pets isn't changing. You can still count on the friendly faces, personal service, and neighborhood care that make Benson’s special.

Thank you for supporting our family-owned business and the people who make it what it is.

Come on by and get your pet's photo taken at Benson's Pet Center - and help a great organization!

Sunday Nov 18 from noon to 3 pm.

Poppy sez, "Hey, y'all! Guess who just got their TASP Fantasy Photo taken at Benson's Pet Center in Colonie! Of course, everyone knew what background would reflect the inner-Poppy, right? FOOD! ON THE TABLE! LOOKIN' TASTY! YAH! The TASP folks were at Saratoga's Benson's yesterday snappin' and clickin' their hearts out for local animals in crisis. My Ma and Pa just paid a measley $10 donation to get this awesome photo of me and my favorite things. And then, as if that wasn't cool enough, they put another $5 on the table and had the file emailed to them so they can plaster my handsome face all over the place, sharin' and smilin' all the way till Thanksgiving! And knowing as we do that every penny earned at TASp events is applied to the welfare of local pets who need a hand, there's no need for heartburn about the donation! The TASP volunteers will be at Benson's Colonie till 3PM today and then it's a weeks wait till the next clinic at Pet Supplies Plus in Troy. Maybe we'll see ya there and have a snack together!"

Congrats to Lizzie and Joe - and what a cool way to tie the knot! 💕

Best of luck to you both.

See these two beautiful people? They are getting married at our shelter on Saturday! Joe is very lucky to wed our Lizzy, who has been the Humane Educator for more than 5 years. She considers Berkshire Humane Society to be her home, her family - so what better place to tie the knot? If you love Lizzy and want to support Humane Education – and help animals too – please consider becoming a Compassionate Caregiver. It would be the BEST gift to celebrate these two loving, animal-obsessed humans. Congrats Lizzy and Joe! 🎉💖🥂🐾
