Happy National Pet Day! On April 11, this day is dedicated to any and all of those pets who may not always get the companionship and attention pets deserve.
While loving our pets is something we do every day, the observance encourages helping out orphaned pet companions. It will improve their health and enhance their opportunities for adoption.
Sometimes their human companions aren’t well. Making sure their forever furry, feathered or fishy friends are receiving the best of care will help relieve stress and worry.
National Pet Day is an excellent time to do a few checks for your pets.
- • Go through your fur-ever family member’s toys. Throw away any items that are no longer safe.
- • Maintain your pet-friendly home. Keep cords and toxins secure from your four-legged friends. This includes phone chargers.
- • Verify when vaccinations are due and schedule an appointment to update if they are due.
- • Check collars to ensure tags are secure and numbers are current. We sometimes forget to update this information when we move or change numbers.
HOW TO OBSERVE
Take supplies to those pets in shelters. Help a friend with pets who is recovering from an illness. Adopt a pet. Give your pets extra love with a bath and rub down.
When National Day Calendar® head writer Michele Schaaf isn't tackling fur, she Celebrates Every Day® with her family and friends as well.
She also writes about everyday life and likes to share fun and humorous ways to brighten everyone’s day.
