National Pet Day is April 11th and we think it’s the *perfect* reason to show your furry friend some extra love! During the challenging time we’re all facing with the current health climate, your pet is surely feeling the difference too. They’re probably wondering why you’re suddenly home all day. And they may be even a bit curious about your co-workers over your zoom calls.
Since we’re out of our normal routines, it’s important to make sure we’re giving them as much attention as they could ever want.
Here are five ideas to inspire you to celebrate National Love Your Pet Day with a little extra care this year: 1. Go for a long walk.
If your furry friend loves the outdoors, why not get outside for an extended period of time? Safely, of course.
If you have a backyard or a quiet neighborhood, a long walk could be what you both need to revive your spirits.
No access to an outdoor area? Many dog parks and parks are still open, just be sure to check the rules regarding leashes and maintain social distancing while out.
2. Treat them to Ollie.
Ollie is a food delivery service for your dog. They use human-grade and nutrient-dense ingredients so that you know your pup is getting the best of the best.
You can customize your plan based on your dogs preferences too. In a time where so much is uncertain, it can be extra stressful to know if you’re able to feed your dog as well. Ollie offers free shipping which can give you peace of mind knowing that your dog’s food is simply going to arrive on your doorstep.

Ollie is also partnering with the Humane Society to donate 2000 meals to pups in communities severely impacted by the current global health crisis. They’ll also be donating 3000 meals to dog owners (nominated by customers) and are providing discounts to first responders and medical staff. Learn more here.
3. Clean your pet and groom them as much as possible.
While we can’t take our pets to the groomers right now, they still need some extra love and attention when it comes to taking care of them.
Your furry friend may usually hate baths, but it’s peace and mind for you that your pet is fresh and clean. Consider giving them an extra deep shampoo and condition on National Pet Day. And if a bath isn’t for them, maybe even a brushing of their coat could do the trick.
4. Share your love for your pet on social media.
In a time where we could all use some lighthearted content, pictures of your pet are the perfect way to brighten someone else’s day!
Whether they were doing something super cute or you stage an adorable photo or even make a meme out of them, it’s sure to bring the heart-eyes, laughs, and smiles to a world who could really use that right now.
5. Consider pet adoption.
If you’re thinking about bringing another pet into your family and can financially swing it, adopting a pet could be a worthwhile solution for you.
Our furry friends might be lonely right now and shelters are struggling. If it’s something you can and want to do, a pet adoption is a worthwhile pursuit.
National Pet Day only comes once a year, but as any pet owner knows, not a day goes by where you don’t show your pet some affection.
