HIGHLAND | If your cocker spaniel is just itching for a pet-icure, head over to Petco's Highland store Saturday.

Petco is hosting its first Valentine's Day Pet Party, an opportunity for pet owners to share some special time with their furry friends. Or, as Petco describes it, a chance to smooch your pooch on Valentine's weekend.

There's a best pet kiss contest at 2 p.m., a chance for pet owners to pucker up. Judges will award a Petco gift card to the pet and owner who demonstrate the best expression of love.

Over in the grooming salon, it's pet-icure time, where red nail polish will be applied free of charge between 1 and 4 p.m.

Owners can pose with their pets and receive a free commemorative Valentine's Day photo frame personalized with the pet's paw-print autograph.

The Highland Petco is at 10235 Indianapolis Blvd.
