It’s November 19^th, which means its time to celebrate another Get A PAL For Your Pet Day! Being a multiple pet owner has numerous benefits, not just for us, but for our animals as well! Help us spread awareness of pet companionship by changing your social media profile photo to our custom Get a Pal For Your Pet Day image and get connected with other pet lovers by using #Pals4Pets on your social media channels.

Having multiple pets is the cat’s pajamas. Here are a few reasons why:

1. Everyone needs a friend

We all long for companionship and our pets are no different! A new, loving addition to the family could be the best friend your pet needs! They’ll have someone to play with, nap with and enjoy yummy treats with!

2. They will be there for each other

Sometimes, life gets the best of us, and we don’t get to spend as much time with our pets as we’d like. If you were a multiple pet owner, your pet would have a friend to help keep them company throughout the day while you’re gone.

3. Health benefits for you and your pet

Research shows that pets can improve our health, but did you know that pets can improve each other’s health as well. Pets increase their friends’ overall mood and wellbeing with lots of playtime and exercise.

4. More companionship
   

Studies show love and companionship as one of the top reasons for owning pets… now think about doubling that! Owning multiple pets means even more snuggles, laughs, and smiles for the whole family!

5. It’s the right thing to do!

With millions of animals still looking for forever homes we encourage you to consider becoming a multiple pet home. If you have room in your heart and home for more than one animal, save a life and adopt a shelter pal for your pet!

So, what are you waiting for? Change your profile picture, tell everyone about the #Pals4Pets campaign and go get a pal for your pet! And when you do, share photos with us on our Facebook page.
