National Pet Day HistoryNational Pet Day is dedicated to appreciating and highlighting the unconditional love that pets bring into our lives. This day also aims to encourage the humane care of all pets, honouring the therapeutic role they play. It is a day intertwined with the values of compassion, empathy, and humanity and provides us an opportunity to reflect on the benefits that owning a pet can bring, such as positive mental health and overall well-being. National Pet Day was established in 2006 by Animal Welfare Advocate & Pet Lifestyle Expert, Colleen Paige, in America. The day quickly gained worldwide recognition, including in the United Kingdom. It's pertinent to the UK, where there are over 51 million pets, with almost half of adults owning a pet according to the PDSA. The observance aligns with the British culture of responsible pet ownership and the value placed on animal welfare. It also provides an opportunity to dwell upon the role of many nonprofits and animal shelters that tirelessly work towards the betterment of the animal kingdom. National Pet Day is observed in much the same way as in other countries. Pet owners often show their love and appreciation by pampering their furry companions, posting their photos on social media, taking them for special walks, or making donations to local pet shelters. Animal shelters usually have specials for adoption, encouraging more people to consider providing a loving home to pets in shelters. National Pet Day is celebrated on April 11th each year.
