It's National Pet Professionals Week! #NationalPetProfessionalsWeek

Hello and Happy Friday! We found out the other day from Cody over at Cat Chat With Caren and Cody that this week is National Pet Professionals Week! Thanks for telling everyone about this, Cody!

national pet professionals week


American Pet Professionals is celebrating their second annual #NationalPetProfessionalsWeek July 5th through the 11th. I bet you're wondering what this week is all about.  Well, to quote Nancy Hassel, who is not only the president but the founder of American Pet Professionals,  "this week is a celebration of our ever growing and amazing pet industry and the pet professionals who are so dedicated and passionate about our pets!” 


Pet pros and professionals are encouraged to proclaim their professionalism by using the hashtag #NationalPetProfessionalsWeek on social media. Since I"m a professional cat blogger and a member of BlogPaws' Pet Blogger Influencer Group, I'm proudly displaying my hashtag! Pet professionals are urged to do many things this week, and one of them is to say "Thank You" to those who make your profession possible.  So Lexy and I (and Mommy, too!) want to thank you, our readers, for visiting our blog and commenting on our posts.  You make us want to continue to write and make our blog a fun place you will want to continue to visit.  

We also want to thank our pet professionals! That would be our vet, Dr. Plotnick and all the staff at Manhattan Cat Specialists for always taking the best care of us. And of course we have to thank the best cat sitters in the whole world. That would be our Aunt Leslie, Dawn and Deb of On All Fours Cat Sitting.  Mommy knows we're in good hands with them when she goes away and she doesn't have to worry (too much!). Dawn or Deb come to check in on us these days, and Mommy always gets a text or a picture every day so she knows we're OK. We don't know what we would do without them.

For more information on how you can participate, go here. Who are you going to thank?

  1. I was going to write about this week... but I thought it said "Professional Pets," so I thought it meant working cats, like me! I got it mixed up.

    1. We got confused, too, Summer. We read the description like FIVE times and went back and forth about posting. I finally put my paw down and meowed "let's just post what we think it is!" MOL
