Dudley Digs: May is National Pet Month

May marks National Pet Month. Here are some tips to show you appreciate your lovable companion.

Hi everyone,

Us lovable furry companions not only have a holiday to celebrate, but an entire month to recognize and love us pets.

According to Wikipedia, National Pet Month is a celebration of the benefits that pets bring to people's lives and vice versa. It is observed annually in the United States (US) in May (and in April in the UK).

How do you celebrate this month with your pet? Here are some tips us (pets) love:

  1. Make a pedi-day: Book a pedicure for yourself and your pet. Drop your pet off a local pet gromer, and enjoy your own pedicure at a local salon/spa. I love going to Petco for my pampering.
  2. Reward good behavior. Remember, us lovable, furry companions LOVE being rewarded for good behavior. Stop by a local pet store to pick up a treat for him or her.
  3. Pets love toys as well! Surprise your pal with a stuffed toy to chew on.
  4. Play time. Schedule several 5-10 minute play sessions with your pet throughout the day. We value our time with our families, and enjoy getting the exercise as well.
  5. Adopt. Finally, if you are planning to add another member to your family, always remember to look at adoption. Petsmart is hosting a national adoption weekend May 4-6. Click here to view details.

Remember, by doing any of the these items, we will love you furever.
