While we are pretty much obsessed with our furry friends every day, today is a special day to celebrate a little extra. If you need any other excuse to spoil your pet, here is your chance - make him some home made treats with these 4 great recipes he will surely love!  

According to Pet Day USA, National Pet Day was founded in 2005 by Pet & Family Lifestyle Expert, Colleen Paige, who is also the founder of National Dog Day, National Puppy Day and National Cat Day among others. National Pet Day is celebrated each year on April 11 and is considered to be a day when you acknowledge and display extra love and affection towards your furry little ones. Being a pet parent fills us all with so much joy but apparently it can benefit us in many other ways. Here are some infographics to prove it. 

The bond between people and their pets is unlike anything else in life. These little balls of fur depend on us for everything, and give us so much in return: love, affection, and endless devotion. More than anything, animals give us companionship that we can't get anywhere else, and make us better people for it. So, to celebrate international Pet Day appropriately, here are 15 quotes from people who know just how important our furry friends are. Read them, hug your cat or dog, and give them an extra treat or two.

National Pet Day is an unofficial holiday that encourages all of us to pay our pets some extra attention. It is also a day to commemorate everything that our pets do for us on a daily basis. So if you have a pet, we have compiled a list of some special things you can do with them today. After all, don't they deserve it?

With dogs or cats in the house, returning home—from a day at work or just a trip to the mailbox—is cause for celebration, a wagging tail, the gift of a ball at your feet or even a little dance. You're home!

Our heart is with you, dear owners...
