National Pet Day - April 11, 2024
Did you know that humans have had pets since prehistoric times, and they used to be a sign of wealth? In today’s world though, about 66% of U.S. households have a pet of some kind, according to Forbes! Since so many of us have pets, how could we not celebrate National Pet Day on April 11th?!
This is a great opportunity to celebrate the friendship you have between you and your best friend and thank them for always being there! If you’re looking for something fun to do with your pet, or wish to pamper them, check out our wonderful, puppy and kitty loving members that can serve you!
