National Pet Day- 5 Ways To Spend Time With Your Pet

All of us who have pets, we love them from the very bottom of our hearts, right? Well obviously duhhh! These furry little bundles of joy are possibly our favourite family members, our favourite parts about our house which is why many of us rush home as soon as possible. And we know what the best part is, that they are always happy to see us when we come home. They know the precise time we should be coming home, know that it is our car that is pulling up inside the building, and are the first ones to demand our attention lol which we are most happy to provide. 

People love their pets and they make our lives better in every way so they too deserve to feel extra special. We humans celebrate everything like our birthdays, anniversaries, mother’s day, father’s day, sibling’s day, etc. So why not also celebrate a day for our cute little fluffy friends. April 11 is a special day because it is known as National Pet Day and we at Things2do recommend that all of us should integrate this day too in our lives! 

Having said that, here are Things2do’s best ways to celebrate this joyous occasion of National Pet Day on the 11th of April.

1Adopt a Pet

Many of us have a pet and we pamper them as much as we can. In fact, some of us earn and work hard solely to feed our pets lol while the rest of us still contemplate whether we should get a pet or fight with our moms for permission to get one. Millions of animals enter an animal shelter every year with many such shelters lacking the resources to support them for too long, leading to unthinkable situations. So instead of buying a pet of a particular breed, why not adopt one? They make for a great first pet with assistance from the shelter for as long as you need. Moreover, you will be proud of yourself for saving a bundle of cuteness in the world!

2Take Your Pet Out For A Relaxing Day

We pamper and take ourselves out for fun and relaxing days frequently. And our loved ones, we mean our pets, deserve that too because they have the most important job of loving us and acting cute every day of their lives. With Things2do, you can have the best National Pet Day by going on a Poolside Getaway With Your Pet! You and your pet can enjoy a whole host of activities like lakeside camping, or relaxing by the pool with your pet also being engaged with games and tasty treats which they are definitely not going to say no to XD. Moreover, if your pet is a pawsome swimmer then the funnest time is what you will get!

3Go On A Long Drive

It is a very unique phenomenon that is common for both humans and our pets, we LOVE long drives! But our pets, and especially dogs, love to do so with their heads out the window all the time and no one knows why, they just do. Dogs, in general, are quite adventurous and think of a car ride as an adventure where they can acquaint themselves with the scents, sights, and sounds of the world around them. Moreover, keeping their head out of the window makes them feel like they are part of a hunting expedition, out to find something that gives them a euphoric feeling.

4Watch A Movie With Your Pet

Have you noticed your pet the last time you watched a movie with them? They are very attentive to what they see on a screen, sometimes more than us, and think it is happening in real life by responding, often dramatically, to them. So now is your time to dig up the classic pet movies like Garfield, Marley & Me, or, if you want to say busted to your pet for when they are left alone, The Secret Life of Pets! If not the story then they can at least understand all the barks and the meows!

5Take A Much-Needed Nap Together!

Pov- you have just spent a long day/week at work and do not have the energy to do anything else. Your pet wants to play with you when you come home but senses you are tired and instead decides to snuggle up to you and doze off to sleep. Cuddling with something so cute, soft, and fluffy= best sleep/nap you have had in quite a while. Sounds like you are in heaven, right? So yes, just do that! Simple and the best way to celebrate National Pet Day.

For health-conscious people, pets are known to have tremendous impacts on our physical and mental health. They raise our serotonin levels, which are directly linked to our happiness apart from improving cardiovascular health by reducing cholesterol, cortisol, and blood pressure. On that note, we hope that this guide helps your pets get all the love and attention that they want. It is their right after all! From all of us at Things2do, we wish your pets, and to-be pets, the Happiest National Pet Day.
