Every wagging tail, gentle purr, playful zoomie, and snuggly moment is a reminder of just how special our pets truly are. That’s why we’re so excited to celebrate National Pet Week—a time to honor the bond we share with our furry companions and recognize the joy, comfort, and unconditional love they bring into our lives.
What is National Pet Week?
Observed each year during the first full week of May, National Pet Week was created by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) to promote responsible pet ownership and celebrate the human-animal bond. It’s also a great opportunity to highlight the importance of preventive veterinary care and lifelong well-being for our pets.
Seven Ways to Celebrate Your Pet This Week:
1. Schedule a Preventive Care Checkup
Keep your pet healthy and happy with routine exams, vaccinations, and dental care.
2. Update ID Tags & Microchips
Ensure your pet’s information is current in case they ever get lost.
3. Try a New Activity
Go on an extra walk, introduce a new toy, or try a fun trick or game together.
4. Pamper Your Pet
Treat them to a grooming session, a new cozy bed, or a healthy homemade snack.
5. Prioritize Mental Stimulation
Use puzzle feeders, training games, or enrichment toys to keep their mind sharp.
6. Spend Quality Time
Simply giving your pet your undivided attention goes a long way toward strengthening your bond.
7. Share the Love
Post your favorite photos or stories online using #NationalPetWeek to celebrate your pet’s unique personality.
