February Pet Awareness Days 🗓️

February is a month right in the heart of winter. This month we’re celebrating how to train your dog, dental health for pets, and responsible pet ownership.

The biggest highlight of the month is usually the Westminster Kennel Club Annual Dog Show. In 2026, the 150th Annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show happened on February 2 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Another cool thing about the annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show is that each breed has an associated rescue group. Be there in person if you can, but the event will also be televised.
