Are you curious about how we celebrate with our pets in and around Mooresville during March? 

For those of us who live with pets, here are the celebrations, special days and weeks we are paying attention to in around Mooresville during March that you just might want to know about.

• March is Poison Prevention Awareness Month
• March 15 – 21 is Poison Prevention Week

Pet Poison Helpline

We hope you never have a need to call the Pet Poison Helpline, but if you do have a need we want you to know about the resource.

•  March is Adopt a Rescued Guinea Pig Month

Sadly, guinea pigs are at risk of neglect, abuse and abandonment too.  If you are considering getting a guinea pig for a pet please visit the local shelter.  And yes, we happily provide pet sitting services for guinea pigs too.

• March 1 is National Pig Day

Did you know that pigs can learn tricks?!?

• March 1 – 7 is Professional Pet Sitters Week

Did you hire a professional pet sitter?

For those of you who live in nearby areas of Mooresville, Davidson and Cornelius, we are available to meet your pet sitting and dog walking needs.  Visit our website here.

• March 2 – 8 is National Severe Weather Preparedness Week
• March 16-22 is National Flood Safety Week

While you are preparing your house and getting items ready for the humans, please be sure to gather together the items your pets need too in the event you have to evacuate. I’m sure we all remember the tragedy of people who refused to evacuate during Hurricane Hugo because they would not leave their pets behind.  Make a list of pet friendly shelters and lodging where you and your pets can go.

• March 8 brings us Daylight Savings Time

Yippee skippy!!!  We are ready.

•  March 17 is St. Patrick’s Day

We’re all a little Irish on St. Patrick’s Day.

• March 20 is the first day of Spring

….and not a minute too soon!!!

• March 23 is National Puppy Day

Who doesn’t love a puppy? The goal on this wonderful day is:

to celebrate the magic and unconditional love that puppies bring to our lives. But more importantly, it’s a day to help save orphaned puppies across the globe and educate the public about the horrors of puppy mills, as well as further our mission for a nation of puppy-free pet stores. Our goal is to have 10,000 puppies adopted across the US on National Puppy Day!

Of course if you plan to adopt a puppy you will need someone to help give the puppy potty breaks while you are at work.  Yes, we happily provide that service too.

• March 26 is Make Up Your Own Holiday Day

Make Up Your Own Holiday Day

• March 30 is Take a Walk in the Park Day

What could be better than taking a walk in the park with that puppy you adopted earlier this month?
