National Pet Week 2016 - May 1st to May 7th

Mom and child with dog

 

Our pets are part of our families!

 

To honor this bond, The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) has declared that May 1-7 is National Pet Week! This year, we celebrate: "A Lifetime of Love".

 

Each day has a theme. Learn what makes healthy pets and healthy families.

 

  • May 1: Choose well. Commit for life.

  • May 2: Socialize now. New doesn't have to be scary.

  • May 3: Exercise body. Exercise mind.

  • May 4: Love your pet? See your vet!

  • May 5: Pet population control: Know your role.

  • May 6: Emergencies happen. Be prepared.

  • May 7: Give them a lifetime of love.
