About National Pet Day
National Pet Day is celebrated on 11 April each year — a day to appreciate the joy that companion animals bring to people's lives. It encourages pet adoption and raises awareness of animals in shelters. Founded in 2006 by animal welfare advocate Colleen Paige, it is widely observed in the UK and USA.
The next National Pet Day is on 11 April 2026 — a Saturday — which is 24 days, approximately 3 weeks or 0.8 months away.
