Forget summer, February is the time full of dog days, from Walk Your Dog Day to National Dog Biscuit Day. Other pets get some love, too, and did you know there’s a National Polar Bear Day?

Welcome to 2024, the Year of the Dragon, which also has its own appreciation day this month! Peanut butter, which has its own day, makes the list, too though dogs enjoy it 365. The month also highlights dressing pets up and traveling with pets.
The first day of winter, Christmas, Hannukah, and Kwanzaa come to mind quickly for dates to remember in December, but there are some animal-related ones, too. Mutts, horses, and zoo animals each have their own day, as does ugly sweaters. What a perfect in-clinic mixer or photo opportunity on socials with both two- and four-legged friends showing off their “ugly” look!
When it comes to animals during November, turkeys are likely to first come to mind. But this is also the month that highlights groomers, senior pets and animal shelters. Consider doing a cross promotion for referrals at a local grooming salon or recognizing veterinarians and staff who have served our country, along with your clients. Bonus: if you work with wildlife, consider Guy “Hawkes’ Day on the 5th as a riff on that holiday.
