May is National Pet Month, which means you get to lavish your furry friend with extra-special attention. You may be asking yourself, \u201cHow many new ways to spoil my pet are<\/em> there?\u201d We know you shower your pets with attention every day. The team at Flower Mills Veterinary Hospital<\/a> has ideas you can add to your list of ways to show your pet how much you appreciate them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How to Celebrate National Pet Month<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s time to pull out your planner, grab a cup of tea or coffee, and settle in on the couch next to Fido or Kitty. Here are four ways to make your pets feel extra special this month: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Throw a Pet Party <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you love hosting parties, why not throw a party to celebrate your pet and all his friends? Build a guest list that matches your pet\u2019s personality. For instance, if your dog doesn\u2019t get along with other dogs, consider inviting just the people who love your pet alongside you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dogs that get along great with other canines\u2014or cats that like other felines\u2014can handle a guest list that includes their pawsome friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find an escape-free space to host your party, find a pet-friendly cake recipe for a special treat, and send out your invites. Don\u2019t forget to take pictures of your pet\u2019s special day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Schedule a Pet Photo Shoot <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve probably seen those adorable family photo shoots people do with their kids. Maybe you\u2019ve done one before, too. This National Pet Month, schedule a photo shoot focused on you and your pet.

Many photographers love capturing the bond between you and your furry family members. Not only will you have a fabulous time during your photo shoot, but you\u2019ll also have special photos to cherish forever. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Volunteer or Donate to a Shelter <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Assisting shelters is a great way to honor pets and the people who care for them. Reach out to your local shelter to see if you can lend a hand in May\u2014and maybe even continue volunteering once or twice a month after National Pet Month ends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who knows? Maybe you\u2019ll meet a new family member while you\u2019re there. If your packed schedule doesn\u2019t allow much breathing room for volunteering, consider donating in your pet\u2019s name. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Take Your Pet on a Shopping Trip<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Pet stores usually allow you to bring your dog or cat inside as long as they\u2019re leashed and up-to-date on vaccinations. Bring your cat or dog on an exciting trip to the pet store and let them pick out a new toy or treat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your dog will love sniffing her way through the store, and your cat might find a cool new scratching post to bring home. Consider picking up a few sturdy toys and tasty treats to donate to your local shelter, too! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Healthy Pets are Happy Pets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n


Before you throw a pet party or take your pet out for a shopping adventure, make sure they\u2019re healthy and up-to-date on vaccines so they can safely partake in the fun. Fill out our appointment request form<\/a> to get started. The team<\/a> at Flowers Mill Veterinary Hospital looks forward to spending time with you and your furry family member. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
