National Pet Day 2025: how to make the day special! (DISCOUNT CODE INCLUDED)

National Pet Day is celebrated annually on 11th April. 

Pet parents unite! April 11th is a day you can dedicate to pampering and spoiling pets...more than usual! At Real Pet Store, we know the joy that pets bring into your life - whether you've got a rabbit, hamster, dog, cat, or bird, National Pet Day encourages you to celebrate your loyal companions. But how can you let them know this day is all about them?!

Here are some ways you can make National Pet Day special for both you and your pet!

1. Spend extra time with them: spending time with your pet, at any stage of their life, is incredibly important to strengthen the bond you share. Consider taking your dog for a longer walk, playing around with some catnip with your cat or clean out your small animal's cage and rearrange their toys for new exploration! There are plenty of ways you can give a little extra attention to your pet today. 

2. Treat them to a grooming session: whether you have a favourite salon, or it's a DIY job, your pet will always appreciate a bit of pampering. A trim of the coat, clip of the nails and a scrub of the fur can go a long way. Not only is it another opportunity to bond with your pet, but making these changes can also help them feel more comfortable (and glamorous too!) Perhaps treat them to a new accessory, like a shiny new collar!

3. Let them socialise: dog owners, it's time you take your dog for that puppuccino and playdate! Have a family member or friend with a pet? It can be a great idea to meet up with your pets (in a pet-friendly place, such as a park) and let your pets socialise for the day. Equally, if you've got more of an indoor pet, encourage them to join you for an extra cuddle to show them some love.  

4. Get them a new toy from the Real Pet Store: National Pet Day is a great excuse to surprise your pet to a new toy. From dogs to parakeets, toys are beneficial for all pets as they can provide mental stimulation, anxiety relief and all-round enjoyment in your pet's day to day life.

5. Plan a special activity: nothing is too much for your fur baby, trust us. Photoshoot moment? Fashion show? A pet-friendly feast? Doing something extra special with your pet will create precious memories and allow them to feel the love they deserve.
