National Love Your Pet Day is celebrated every year on February 20. About 60% of US Households own at least one pet, and we are guessing that nearly 100% of them want to show their love to their pets on National Love Your Pet Day (and every day!).
However, sometimes life circumstances make caring for your pet difficult. Here are some resources that will help you feed your pet when times get tough.
