CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) – Sunday brings another excuse to spoil your favorite 4-legged friend because it’s “National Pet Parents Day.”
National Pet Parents Day was created to honor all dedicated pet parents across the nation with a special day of their own. According to the Insurance Information Institute’s website, 70 percent of Americans own a pet. This number is up 56 percent from two decades ago.
