Extra Special Treats for Extra Special Pets for Pet Appreciation Week

While it’s essential to shower your pet with love on a daily basis, Pet Appreciation Week from June 4-10 is the perfect time to take a step back from our busy lives and show our pets just how much we value their unconditional love. Here are some ideas for treating your extra special pet during Pet Appreciation Week to remind them how thankful you are to have them in your life. 

Carve Out Special Time with Your Pet 

Our lives are busy, from rushing to work in the morning to getting the kids’ needs taken care of to every other demand we must fulfill on a daily basis. As such, it’s easy for quality time with your pet to take a back seat to other responsibilities. This Pet Appreciation Week, schedule time in advance to spend quality one-on-one time with your pet to show them just how special they are to you. This may be as simple as putting your phone down for some couch time together, going on a fun walk or spending a solid hour playing with them. 

Pamper Your Pet 

Plan a day of pampering your pet to demonstrate how much you love them. This may include some extra petting and massages, brushing their fur, giving them a bath, or taking them to the groomer. Not only does this help them look their best, but it can also be beneficial for their health and wellness. 

Make a Charitable Donation 

Our pets have it good. They have a comfortable home, endless love, and access to food and water whenever they need it. Unfortunately, not all pets are as lucky. This Pet Appreciation Week, consider the other pets in need and make a charitable donation to an animal shelter or local rescue organization in your pet’s honor to help other animals receive the care they need to live happy lives. 

Keep Your Pet Healthy 

The greatest form of love you can give your pet is making sure they are healthy. This Pet Appreciation Week, schedule a health checkup with your pet’s trusted veterinarian to keep them up-to-date on all of their vaccinations and treatments to preserve their wellness and promote a long, healthy, and fulfilling life.
