Silly, Catnaps and Wonder: What We Learn From Our Pets 🃏

Pet parents and animal lovers already know how much pets help our well being. As we continue to spend time indoors with our furry friends, we are reminded of other ways that our pets make us better people.

We could all use more help from our furry friends!

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.

Pet Diseases: How You Can Keep Your Pet Healthy 😷
