10 Ways to celebrate pets on National Pet day! [Infographic]

April 11, 2018 Kamira Gayle 30 Comments

April 11th is National Pet day!

Yeay! Today I bring you a few tips and ideas to spoil your furry family members on this special day. How did National Pet day come about? Well, according to PetDayUSA.com,

“National Pet Day was founded in 2006 by Pet & Family Lifestyle Expert, Animal Welfare Advocate Colleen Paige, to celebrate the joy pets bring to our lives and to create public awareness about the plight of many different kinds of animals awaiting a forever home in shelters and rescues all around the globe.”

Those of us that are pet owners, past or present, know all about showing our fur kids lots of love. If you recently suffered pet loss or just looking for new ways to help animals, consider donating, volunteering or adopting from your local animal shelters.

Let’s get started by checking out this helpful infographic with 10 Ideas to celebrate pets on National Pet Day!

    Lovely ideas. Kilo the Pug thinks every day is National Pet Day or actually Kilo day. We do photo shoots often – he now goes and sits on his spot and looks at me expectantly hoping for treats if he sees the phone or camera. Speaking of treats, he gets lots while training every day. He loves his food (we just filmed a product review yesterday so he couldn’t believe his good luck- some dinner at lunch time). I got some new toys from Global so I gave him one yesterday. It was kind of nasty outside so we played games inside. I was finally able to hobble around after knee treatment so that made him very happy. Then we had a little nap in the afternoon. I also promoted our video Forever so we can donate to his rescue if it gets shared more. XS

      Aww Kilo had a great day. I remember your Forever video. So sweet. Sounds like you both had a productive lovely day. Hope you feel better soon and back to 100% after your knee treatment.

    Everyday should be National Pet Day!! Pet parents love their animals and make them part of their families moreso than ever before so always time to celebrate. My fav on your list is watching pet movies. I love them all. The best are the Air Buddies movies. So fun and cute!!

    It was a cold, rainy and gross day here in Ontario, yesterday. We spent our time together playing hide-and-seek, fetch, and cuddling. Love these ideas!

    These are great ideas! We went for a walk, played fetch in the backyard, and I had a friend over for them to play with! Today we have a play date with Echo’s litter mate at the park!

    For National Pet Day we spent the entire day at the vet! First Beau had his general wellness exam. Then I had clients in the office I share with an integrative veterinarian. So I got to spend time with dogs the entire day! Can’t think of a better way to spend National Pet Day.

    You have some fab ideas for ways to celebrate our special bond. My favourite way to celebrate would be to volunteer at a shelter. Nothing is more rewarding or better for the soul!

    I love all these tips especially watching a pet movie together. How fun! Of course, adopting an animal (if are able) is always a wonderful thing to do any day of the year.

    Love this and Layla woofs Happy National Pet Day. She is getting a bath today which she hates LOL but sun is shining so want to do it, BUT she has been spoiled also by getting a bag of her favorite treats which is chicken jerky with bacon wrapped around it so she cannot complain that I do not spoil her LOL. Plus I am not teaching today so I might take her to the park to spend the afternoon, quality time with no electronics.
