Celebrate National Pet Day April 12th

It’s hard to deny the love a pet owner has for their furry companion. From an endless supply of treats to belly rubs and a basket full of toys, our “fur babies” are spoiled. But it’s not always a walk in the park – there’s the shedding, the “picking up” and the trips to the vet. That’s why, it’s time to celebrate National Pet Owner’s Day – a day that honours all of the loving and dedicated pet parents out there.

If you’re a loyal and loving pet parent to a Fido or Fluffy, here are a few tips for appreciating all that you do for your pet:

1. Find a product that gets rid of Fido’s footprints and funky smells forever. Even the most loving pet owners will admit that animals bring smells, dust, dirt and a lot of hair into the home. Arm & Hammer™ Plus OxiClean™ Carpet & Room Odour Eliminator – Pet Fresh, will make your job easier and leave pet areas smelling fresh! It helps to release pet odours deep within carpets and loosens pet hairs, helping to lift up to 25 per cent more dirt than vacuuming alone.

2. Give back with a spa day. Fido’s day at the spa is one way to extend the life of your favourite piece of furniture. Make sure the spa visit includes a nail clipping – no more scratching at your brand new sofa.

3. Make #litterboxlife a little easier. There’s nothing worse than having to scrape the litter from the corners. Am I right? Today’s the day to switch to Arm & Hammer™ Clump and Seal™ Slide™ Cat Litter, which has a patented formula with “EZ Clean Technology” that helps stuck on messes slide out easily. Plus it delivers a 7-day odour-free home – guaranteed! No scrubbing, no scraping, no odour – no problem!

4. Let your fur baby have a sleepover. It might be hard to spend time away from your furry friend, but sometimes a night off is needed. Phone a friend who has always offered to pet sit for a weekend and finally take them up on the offer!

  • I must say I just love pics of Cali!!!! I’ll have to get some Pet Fresh for my friends cat… hint.

  • Well, I guess I have 5 pets to celebrate on April 18! I hope they are not expecting gifts, 😳

  • I admit, our two dogs are simply spoiled. We just finished taking them to the 1st annual Dachshund races and they had so much fun meeting other Dachshunds. It was a sight to see. We do also spoil them with special treats (calorie wise as to not cause too much weight gain), massages from the girls and us, lots of walks and squirrel chasing (on leash), and many belly rubs and snuggles. They are certainly part of the family .

  • Although I love our family kitty, we have never celebrated National Pet Owner Day!

  • I don’t personally have a fur baby. There is many dogs and cats in the family. I am always buying them treats.

  • We have 4 pets to celebrate – 2 cats & 2 poodles! Mind you they are spoiled everyday!

  • I celebrate this day by giving my kitties extra treats. Aw, who am I kidding, I do that every day, hahahah!

  • We’ve got a cat and a dog and we love them so much. They are always spoiled !

  • I have to say I’ve never celebrated. We have 3 (feline) fur babies in our house!

  • Aww! I love that there is a national pet day! I cannot have any in my current home but I hope that will change in the future

  • My 2 dogs are no longer with us so I don’t celebrate National Pet Owner Day but I do take my mom’s dog for walks every week & give her treats.

  • I took our peke out on a nice long walk and met up with some of his friends at the park.
