Every February 20, pet parents celebrate National Love Your Pet Day—a special reminder to slow down, appreciate our furry family members, and show them just how much joy they bring into our lives. Pets give us unconditional love every day, so this holiday is the perfect chance to return the favor with extra comfort, care, and connection.
Whether you’re a dog parent, a cat parent, or lucky enough to be both, here are meaningful (and fun!) ways to love your pets back—while supporting their health, happiness, and well-being.
1. Make Grooming a Love Language
Pet grooming isn’t just about keeping your pet clean—it’s an act of care. Brushing, bathing, and soothing pet itchy or dry skin all help pets feel more comfortable, more relaxed, and more connected to you.

Why grooming equals love:
