Celebrating National Puppy Day & Cuddly Kitten Day

Most people are not aware of the special holiday made to celebrate the cutest creatures we know. On March 23rd of each year, we observe not only national puppy day but cuddly kitten day. You may not need a holiday to drop everything and give your sweetest pets the attention they deserve, but on this adored holiday make sure to share special time with your prized pup and kitty!

Not sure how to make today stand out from the rest? We have compiled a quick list of fresh ideas to help make this holiday an extra special day for your beloved pets.

 

 

Cuddle Time

With a national holiday like cuddly kitten day, you should take the term literally. Carve out time during your day or leave some time at night for cuddles. Gather your fluffy blankets and camp out in the family room. Instead of turning back on your latest binge-worthy show, pick out something specifically for your pets. Check your channels or streaming services for the animal planet, discovery channel, or special pet shows. If the TV does not gain the attention of your pet, try using your phone or tablet. Cat owners know that cats can’t get enough of interactive videos. Turn on a cat-catching video. From fish to mice, these dynamic videos will make your cats night!

Your cuddle time would not be complete without some snacks. Don’t be stingy and only make popcorn for yourself. Keep some yummy treats next to the couch to reward your pooch with their favorite bite-sized treats! Break these items out for pet cuddle time:

  • Cozy blankets
  • Animal channels
  • Interactive cat videos
  • Tasty dog & cat treats

Pet Photoshoot 

It is common for parents to plan a photo shoot in a studio or out with a local photographer for special occasions, holidays, and milestones. 

Use this holiday as the perfect opportunity to create a pet-fessional photoshoot worthy of being hung on your walls or shared on your social media!

Get your pup picture-perfect by giving him or her accessories custom-made for them. Add a festive pet scarf to what would be a standard collar. Display their name or a silly saying that shows off your goofy pup. Getting your cat camera ready only takes a quick brushing and adjustment of their collar.

Use treats and toys to gain your pet’s attention and get the ideal shot! If your puppy day photos turn out as amazing as you hoped, don’t forget to get creative for next year’s Christmas cards and include pictures of your pups! Choose your favorite snapshots from your photo shoot and use it for your home decor. Add the photo to a custom pet canvas that you can hang on your walls in your home or at the office!

Playtime

On a designated holiday made for your pets, give them the thing they crave the most your love and affection! Use part of your day for a fun playtime with your cat and/or dog.

Create a full experience for your cat in a designated room or on your patio. Turn your space into a temporary kitten play-place. Load it up with cat toys, boxes, scratch posts, and catnip to curve your cat’s curiosity. This extra-special playtime takes spoiling your cat to the next level!

For your seemingly perfect pooch, give them the space to let out all their pent-up energy. Switch it up by taking backyard playtime to your local dog park. Before you head out, gift them with a brand new dog pet id tag! Make sure you have the right information displayed on your tag so that your outdoor adventure is safe! Bring their favorite frisbees and tennis balls for a great game of fetch.

Toys & Pet Essentials

Let this designated pet day serve as a reminder to take inventory of your puppy’s and kitty’s things. Go over all their toys and see what should stay and what should be replaced. From puppy teething to kitty scratching, toys will inevitably find their end. Next, look over all the essential items you have for your pet. Give the basic items you initially bought for your forever pet an upgrade. Switch out plastic dishes for quality bowls. Shop for ceramic pet bowls that can even include an engraving of your pet’s name. 

Then, make sure items like their leash and collar are sturdy enough to keep up with your growing pet.

Take a quick trip to the store to gather all the things your pet will love! Load up on string toys for your cat and extra squeaky toys for your dog. While you are there, get special food for their dinner to celebrate the holiday made for them!
Pet Gear Cleanup Checklist:

  • Toss any torn toys
  • Get a new custom ceramic pet bowl
  • Upgrade leash & collar
  • Order replacement toys
  • Upgrade to specialty food
