NATIONAL DOG BISCUIT DAY FEBRUARY 23, 2012
Also known as International Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day, National Dog Biscuit Day is always celebrated on February 23rd each year. Whether the origin for the “holiday” was created by a dog biscuit manufacturer, a dog lover or perhaps a dog loving organization is unknown. One thing is definite about National Dog Biscuit Day: this is a day for cherishing the dogs at Have A Heart Animal Hospital: bring in your pooch on February 23rd for a special dog biscuit treat!

February 20th – Love Your Pet Day
Love Your Pet Day is the official day to pamper your pet with a little extra love! Your pet brings a smile to your face when you’re having a rough day, curls up next to you on the couch when you’re feeling lonely, and loves you unconditionally. They certainly deserve a whole day of love and attention!
Pets provide excellent social support, stress relief, and many other health benefits to their owners — even more so than human companions! Research shows that when people had to perform a stressful task, they experienced less stress when their pets were with them than when a supportive friend or even their spouse was present. So whether you have a cat, dog, hamster, or goldfish, make sure they get lots of extra love from you today!
Here are some ideas you can try to make Love Your Pet Day a special day:
- Take your pet to do his favorite activity, whether it be running around the park or taking a drive in the car.
- Try cooking up a tasty treat made from meat, rice and/or vegetables. (Just stay away from onions, peppers, garlic, and spices which may upset your pet’s stomach).
- Bring home a new toy or treat.
- Sign your pet up for a day of grooming or do it yourself. If you really want to go all out, you can book him in a pet spa.
- Don’t forget the pets that are still looking for homes. Adopt a pet or donate a bag of pet food to your local shelter.
- Single out your pet owner friends by sending them a card (or e-card) reminding them to celebrate the day.
- If you don’t know your pet’s birthday (and many of us don’t), make Feb. 20th the day to celebrate his arrival into the world.

Chew on This!
Dental problems like gum disease and cracked teeth affect dogs and cats as much as they do people. Here’s how to help:
Today hasn’t gone as Bill Rosenblad, V95, had planned. An emergency has cropped up: a 16-year-old cat with heart, lung, kidney and adrenal gland disease is being prepped for a tooth extraction, and Rosenblad, an oral surgeon, needs to see her safely through the procedure and recovery.
And while it may seem ill-advised to anesthetize an animal with multiple chronic health conditions for a procedure that may, on the surface, appear frivolous, veterinary dentists would disagree. Most vets wouldn’t hesitate to put critically ill or infirm pets under anesthesia to treat dental disease. That’s because in animals—just like in people—good oral health is conducive to overall health and quality of life. click here to read more…
