Always the first full week in May, National Pet Week® is dedicated to celebrating the more than 200 million pets that enrich people's lives each and every day. National Pet Week® was created in 1981 by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) and the Auxiliary to the AVMA to honor the many important roles pets have and to encourage responsible pet ownership. Whether companion, comedian, confidant or protector, pets are always there and don't ask much in return. National Pet Week® celebrates this bond and encourages pet owners to be certain they provide their best friends with all they need for a happy, healthy life every week of the year.
