NATIONAL LOVE YOUR PET DAY- 20TH FEBUARY.
Every pet parent knows that love for their animal companion isn't confined to just on day, but 20th Feb is national love your pet day, the perfect excuse to go all out in celebrating.
WHY DO WE CELEBATE NATIONAL LOVE YOUR PETS DAY?
Pets enrich out loves in countless ways- offering comfort, reducing stress, keeping us active or even improving our mental and physical health. whether you have a chirping bird , a playful pup or a cuddly cat, today is all about showing extra love and gratitude for their presence.
FUN WAYS TO CELEBRATE.
1) Treat them to something special
Nothing says I love you like a tasty treat! Bake some handmade, pet friendly snacks, buy their favourite treats, or surprise them with a new toy.
For dog try peanut butter and pumpkin seeds, for cats some fresh tuna or catnip infused goodies.
2) Spend quality time together
the best gift you can give your pet is your time. take your dog on an extra long walk or play a fun game. Cats love interactive play with feather wands. even fish, reptiles and birds appreciate some extra attention- rearrange their tank, add new decorations or let them explore a safe space outside their enclosure
3) Pamper your pet
Treat your pet to a spa day! give your dog a nice bath and brushing session or book a professional grooming appointment. cats might enjoy gentle brushing and smaller pets like rabbits, guinea pigs can benefit from a fresh cage setup and a little extra cuddle time.
4) capture the moment
Take some adorable pictures of you pet and use the hashtag #nationalloveyourpetday. not only will you get a keepsake to cherish but you'll also spread the joy with other pet owners.
5) donate to a shelter.
Not all pets are lucky enough to have a loving home. consider donating some food, blankets and toys to local shelters like Benvardin.
A DAY TO REFLECT
National love your pet day is a great reminder to cherish the unconditional love our pets give us daily. whether they greet us at the door, curl up beside us or simply keep us company, their presence makes life better.
