Pet Appreciation Week 2018 is June 3rd– June 10th. Pet Appreciation Week is a time to celebrate how much our pets mean to us. You can show your pet how you appreciate them, whether it’s with a special treat, their favorite toy or game, or simply by spending more time together.
Pets can decrease high blood pressure, lower your cholesterol and help people with general anxiety disorders. Since our pets do a lot more for us than provide unconditional love, here are some ways to celebrate them this year:
