Everyone looks forward to St. Patrick’s Day. The day holds religious meaning and cultural significance. Not to mention it’s the perfect time to celebrate your Irish heritage. So why not include furry family members in the fun?

The Green Outdoors

Mid-March usually brings temporary relief from chilly winter weather. It’s the perfect time to venture outside. And the outdoors have plenty of GREEN to enjoy.

• Attend a St. Patrick’s Day parade. Nothing beats this annual tradition.

• Visit a state park. Walking through budding foliage - quiet AND green.

• Make outdoor lunch plans. Pet-friendly restaurants are a perfect holiday stop.

Luck of the Irish

Nothing says “St. Patrick’s Day” better than shamrocks and pots of gold. And holiday gear’s the perfect excuse for a photo session.

• Dress in costume. Leprechauns and rainbows make festive attire.

• Wear matching outfits. Green bandanas and glittery bobbles always catch attention.

• Strike a pose with themed decor. With St. Patrick’s Day toys, a perfect picture is easy.

St. Patrick’s Day Feast

We love traditional Irish fare. But corned beef and cabbage contain WAY too much salt for our pets. You don’t need to leave them out of celebratory feasts, though.

• Bake healthy treats. Adding natural green flare is easy.

• Pick up themed cookies. Pet bakeries usually offer St. Patrick’s Day specialties.

• Offer natural herbs. Catnip and mint are green and pet-safe.

Sláinte!

Maybe your favorite pet can’t hit the bar with you. But you can still include them in St. Patrick’s Day celebrations.

And those festive pet photos? They’re the perfect images to upload to app profiles!
