Today Is National Pet Parents Day

pet parents day

National Pet Parents Day is observed annually on the last Sunday in April.

There is a very special connection, a unique bond, between a pet and its owner.  This unique relationship, which can often last for many years, is often a vital part of the ‘pet parents’ life.  Their loved pets are considered to be a member of the family.

National Pet Parents Day was created to honor all dedicated pet parents across the nation with a special day of their own.
