November 1st is National Cook For Your Pets Day.
What is National Cook For Your Pets Day?
Imagine eating hamburger meat every day. That doesn’t sound bad, unless that’s all you ate. Whoa. What if you never ate anything else, not even your favorite hamburger toppings? National Cook For Your Pets Day celebrates our furry companions by cooking up a treat to give them a break from the same old same old.
Fluffy might devour her cat food every day, but have you seen how longingly she eyes your carefully crafted salmon pate? We spoil our animals with dog parks, cat towers, belly rubs, pet-targeted pedicures, and so on. For a treat, though, we often just slap some tinned slop into their dishes and call it good.
National Cook For Your Pets Day presents the opportunity to responsible pet owners to show their appreciation. Your pets provide you with companionship and warm feet at night, among other things. Here’s one more indulgence to show your gratitude.
You could say Fluffy never saw this coming, but you’d be wrong. She has dreamed of this day since her kittenhood, and you’re about to make it happen.
Fun facts about National Cook For Your Pets Day!
- Cats require taurine in their diet, though that doesn’t mean Fluffy will enjoy your taurine-infused energy drink.
- High-quality, species-appropriate food will make your pet’s coat of fur shine like the sun on a spring day—or at least look really, really healthy.
- Rover’s dog food probably contains grains and vegetables, giving your pup the fiber and starches it needs.
How to celebrate National Cook For Your Pets Day:
Don’t just cook up a casserole for Fluffy. Do some research to see what your pets need in their diet. There are plenty of resources online, but you could also ask your vet about Rover’s nutritional requirements. Then prepare something tasty that’s appropriate for your four-legged friend.
