SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, Hawaii – America’s furriest heroes can take their purr-ific patriotic looks all the way to the bank. Military pets can fetch a share of $3,000 in Exchange gift cards for their humans when they show off their American pride in the Patriot Pet Just Say “Treat” Photo Contest presented by the Army & Air Force Exchange Service and Royal Canin.

From May 1 through May 31, authorized Exchange shoppers worldwide, including honorably discharged Veterans and Department of Defense and Coast Guard civilians and retirees, can visit ShopMyExchange.com/sweepstakes and submit a photo of their pets dressed in a patriotic costume or with a patriotic background for a chance to win.

Two grand-prize winners will each receive a $500 Exchange gift card. Eight runners-up will each receive a $250 Exchange gift card.

“Pets are an integral part of the military family,” said Hawaii Exchange General Manager Michael Ryan. “This contest gives us a chance to salute and honor the pets in the community for their support of service members year-round. We hope members of the Fort Hood community will be among the winners.”

Contest rules can be found at ShopMyExchange.com/sweepstakes. Winners will be selected on or around June 15.

In Hawaii, authorized patrons have four Exchanges they can shop at:

  • Hickam
  • Marine Corps Base Hawaii Kaneohe
  • Navy Exchange
  • Schofield Barracks
