𝑯𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒚 𝑭𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓'𝒔 𝑫𝒂𝒚 ~ whether you have 2 or 4 legged children with skin, fur, feathers or scales ..... trust you are having a fab day !!

10/06/2025

𝑾𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅 𝑷𝒆𝒕 𝑴𝒆𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝑫𝒂𝒚 was originally created by the American Veterinary Medical Association as a way to remember all the pets that are no longer with us.

World Pet Memorial Day was created as a special day to memorialize beloved pets that have passed away.

It is observed every year on the second Tuesday in June and it is a great time to celebrate the lives of your pets.

Although pets are only in our lives for a short time, they stay in our memories forever. It’s a small consolation, but it’s nice to know there are many ways you can honor the memories of your pets this June.

◼️ Create a Pet Photo Album

Scroll through your posts, and look for one special moment you shared with your pet. A moment that made you laugh so hard that you were almost crying. Or it a moment that fills your heart with love or joy.

It can be a photo or a video. As long as you feel like this was a special moment between yourself and your pet.

◼️ Create a Pet Memorial at Home

A shadow box can hold your pet’s collar, tags, and photos of your pet. Some people find comfort in keeping a favorite toy or blanket in a special keepsake box. Touching the item can bring back fond memories of the fun you and your pet had playing with the toy or memories of your pet snuggled up on their blanket.

◼️ Draw/Paint Your Pet

◼️ Get a Tattoo in Memory of Your Pet

◼️ Plant a Pet Memorial Garden

Plant a tree or shrub in your yard. A living memorial can be a special tribute for a special pet.

◼️ Donate or Volunteer in Your Pet’s Name

What better way to honour your pet’s memories than by helping pet-kind with a donation to a charitable organization?

Many organizations that help animal welfare need donations to be able to provide their services. It can be your local pet shelter, the SPCA, or any other organization that is dear to your heart.

Volunteer at your local animal shelter, or consider fostering a pet that is waiting for a new home.

❄️🐾 Cold Front Alert / Winter weather is here and our furry friends need extra care! 🐶🐱 🐾❄️

Please, please - all pet owners :

✅ Bring your pets indoors where possible. If it’s too cold for you, it’s too cold for them! 🥶

✅ Bundle up - Short-haired pets may need a cozy sweater!
✅ Ensure access to clean, unfrozen water
✅ Limit outdoor time, especially for elderly or sensitive pets
✅ Watch for signs of cold stress - Shivering, whining, or lethargy can mean they’re too cold.

Your furry friends feel the cold too ...
don’t let them suffer in silence.

"𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙙𝙤𝙘𝙩𝙤𝙧 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙫𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙖𝙣. 𝙃𝙚 𝙘𝙖𝙣'𝙩 𝙖𝙨𝙠 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙥𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧 - 𝙝𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙨 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙜𝙤𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬." ~ 𝘞𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘙𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘳𝘴

Whether someone is a cat person, a dog person, a rabbit person or even a horse person, there’s one certain thing that all animal lovers can agree on and that is the 𝙛𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙙 𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙗𝙮 𝙫𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙡𝙨.

On this special day, why not raise a paw, hoof or claw to say "𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙠 𝙮𝙤𝙪" 𝙩𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙡𝙤𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙫𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙨.

History of World Veterinary Day
Back in 1863, the beginnings of the World Veterinary Congress were established by Professor John Gamgee from the Veterinary College of Edinburgh.

By 1959, the World Veterinary Association was established with the mission of focusing on animal health and welfare.

Each year, a different theme is chosen which helps pet owners to remember the importance of various aspects of animal care, and how vets can help, for example ensuring your pet’s vaccinations are up to date.
