Therapy dogs, free cuddles, and zero entry fee. Here’s where to find Chewy’s pop-up comfort crew before, during, and after the matches.

This World Cup has been an emotional rollercoaster. Nail-biting group stage matches, last-minute goals, the kind of heartbreak that makes you want to throw your phone across the room — Miami has felt every bit of it. Enter Chewy, which has decided the city needs a softer landing between matches. Literally — in the form of therapy dogs.

As an Official FIFA World Cup 2026™ Miami Host City Supporter, Chewy is rolling out the Chewy Cuddle Shuttle — a free, four-day pop-up tour bringing certified comfort dogs to fans across Brickell, Wynwood, Sunrise, and Miami Beach. No tickets, no cover, no catch. Just dogs, fans, and a much-needed reset button.

What Is the Chewy Cuddle Shuttle?

Picture a shuttle, but instead of seats, it’s stocked with friendly therapy dogs ready to help you process that last red card. The Cuddle Shuttle pulls up at high-traffic fan zones around Miami from Thursday, June 25 through Sunday, June 28, timed to ease the nerves heading into Team USA’s final Group Stage match against Türkiye and the high-stakes final days of group play.

While you’re there, you can:

  • Step aboard and cuddle with certified therapy dogs
  • Snap a photo and join the #TeamChewy community
  • Score giveaways while supplies last
