Celebrate the love of your pet this Thursday for National Pet Day

By Tony Nguyen / Lifestyle / April 9, 2024

What would we do without our pets? Pets are life companions you could rely on to welcome you when days peak at the highest or become gloomy at the worst. Having the company of a pet brings happiness, warms the soul and relieves owners from the rigors of stress. On April 11, let’s roll out the red carpet for our pets as we observe National Pet Day.

Here at The Better Life, we have a list of suggestions on how to thank and celebrate your pet on this special day.

  • Take a long drive (with windows down and sunroofs open, of course) or walk around town
  • Purchase extra treats and upgrade necessities
  • Plan trips to city parks, lakes or scenic venues
  • Arrange a date of pampering for a bath and grooming
  • Schedule an appointment with a veterinarian for checkup
  • Adopt a pet (for first-time pet owners and pet lovers alike) at an animal shelter or rescue
  • Donate supplies to a local shelter
  • Visit family and friends with pets
  • Throw an extravagant pet party
  • Take lots of photographs and share on social media
  • Savor the moment: Smile, interact and laugh with your pet – because there’s no reason not to!

Our pets deserve the very best. Make it a day you and your pet will never forget.
