Saturday April 26th is National Kids & Pets Day!  It’s a fun day for kids to think of all kinds of different things that they can do with their pets – and then do them!

Growing up with a pet offers so many benefits for children, from companionship to loyalty to unconditional love. We have over 100 reasons to teach our kids to love pets so we’re happy to have this special Kids & Pets Day to bring attention to just a few of the ways Kids and Pets can enjoy each others company.

We created a special page that lists 12 things kids can do with their pets to celebrate. You can see it by going to our  HOME page and clicking on the National Kids & Pets day banner – and it doesn’t even count taking your pet on a picnic like the 2 dogs in the picture! Our Facebook/Kidoodlepets page has been featuring kids and their pets all week and you can check it out all day too!

If you have kids, or if you’re just a kid at heart, celebrate your pet today! #HugYourPet
