February 20th is National Love Your Pet Day (not to be confused with National Pet Day, which is celebrated on April 11th). It is all about reciprocating the unconditional love we get from our pet companions! Whether your pet is a dog, cat, fish, reptile, bird, or rodent, National Love Your Pet Day is the day to make your pet feel special!

There are records of the National Love Your Pet Day celebration dating back to the early 2000s, but it is not quite clear who created the unofficial holiday. There has seen an uptick in the celebration of National Love Your Pet Day in recent years as more and more people adopt and buy these beloved furry, scaly, and tailed members.
