When you really start to think about it everyday is Pet Parent’s Day however, they set aside one day a year to recognize Pet Parents and this year the celebration is April 24^th. So, what should you do to commemorate the day? Plan something special with your pet(s)!

Take them for walk at the park, go for a ride in the car and stop for a puppucino or a frosty paws, bring the kitty in your life a new wand or some catnip. The idea is to celebrate your role as a Pet Parent and nothing gives greater pleasure than seeing our furry or feathery friends enjoy themselves with a favorite pastime or treat. The bond between a pet and their pet parent who loves them unconditional is one that is not easily broken. Whether a pet is brought into a home when they are young, middle age or senior, they are often a big part of pet parents’ lives and considered a valued member of the family. On the last Sunday of April, NAPPS celebrates this unique bond with NAPPS National Pet Parent Day. On this day we celebrate what it means to be a pet parent, from the trials of potty training to remembering those who have crossed over the rainbow bridge. The day celebrates those who love us unconditionally and that we in turn devote our lives to.
