When is National Pet Month?

Our pets undoubtedly deserve to be celebrated all year long, but National Pet Month is observed in May. It begins promptly on May 1st, so mark your calendar for the occasion!

So when is National Pet Day, then?

National Pet Day, on the other hand, is celebrated annually on April 11. But regardless of whether or not you did anything to mark the occasion, there’s never a wrong time to give some extra love (especially with some belly scratches) to your furry friend!

What are the origins of National Pet Month?

In 1981, the United States established May as the month to honor the bonds between humans and their beloved pets, and in 1991, the United Kingdom began recognizing National Pet Month, too (although it’s celebrated in April in the UK).
