National Pet Day
On April 11th, the day is dedicated to those animals that may not always get the companionship and attention that pets so richly deserve. While loving our animals is something we do every day, the observance encourages helping out orphaned pet companions. It will improve their health and increase their chances for adoption..
Sometimes their human companions aren't well. Making sure their forever furry relatives are receiving the highest quality of care will help reduce stress and anxiety.
National Pet Day is a great time to do a few checks for your dogs.
- Go through your furever family member's toys. Toss out any items that are no longer safe
- Maintain your pet-friendly home. Keep cords and chemicals safe from your four-legged friends. Phone chargers are included in this set
- Verify when vaccinations are due and schedule an appointment to check if they are due
- Check collars to ensure tags are safe and that number are correct. We often forget to update this information when we move or change numbers
