National Kids and Pets Day
National Kids and Pets Day Is April 26th
Every year since 2005, National Kids and Pets Day is celebrated on April 26. Former EMT and current family and pet lifestyle expert, Colleen Paige, first created the day to bring awareness to the bond shared between children and pets.
More than that, however, the day is meant to bring awareness to the thousands of animals in shelters awaiting homes, responsible pet ownership, and the incredible importance of teaching children proper care and handling of the animals in their homes.
