It’s officially an unofficial holiday! National Love Your Pet Day is February 20th, and in true tail-wagging style, we are celebrating! 

It’s a bit unfair that our four-legged furbabies don’t get us a day off from work, but I guess we can let it slid. At the end of a long, hard day in the rat race, nothing is better than being greeted by tail wags, sweet kitten purrs, and all the unconditional pet love. So, how can you celebrate this pseudo-holiday? You can love on your favorite non-human, that’s how. Here at My Furbaby’s Heartbeat Bear, we’ve come up with some simple and fun ways to celebrate your pet!

Love Your Pet Day

Take an extra long walk. 

Lace up your running shoes and hit the pavement for a few miles with your dog. If you aren’t a runner, simply extend your walk to include plenty of sniffing time!

Bring home a new toy. 

Splurge on something that will last longer than a night! 

Sign up for a training class.

A well-behaved pet is a happier pet. If your pup hasn’t been through training yet, consider registering her for a local group class. 

Upgrade the sleeping situation.  

Just like a new mattress or new sheets are a luxury for humans to enjoy sleep, your pet’s bed should be upgraded or replaced when it starts to lack its appeal. (Especially if it’s one that cannot fit inside the washing machine!)

Record your pet’s voice.

Pick up a My Furbaby’s Heartbeat Bear Animal and record your pet’s bark or purr to have forever. There are recordable frames and stuffed animals in many different animal breeds to choose from!

Flood social media with pictures.

Use your favorite hashtags, share puppy pictures and milestone pictures. Take a few selfies or videos to share with the world.

Plan some quality time together.

Meet other pet-loving friends at the dog park or at a pet-friendly event and spoil your furbaby rotten for the day!
