Celebrating your amazing pets

WORLD Animal Day, celebrated annually on October 4, is a global event dedicated to promoting animal rights and welfare. Originating in 1925 in Germany, it was founded by cynologist Heinrich Zimmermann. 

The event aligns with the feast of Saint Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals. Over the years, it has grown into an international movement that raises awareness about animal suffering and promotes their humane treatment. 

Through fundraising, education, and advocacy, individuals and businesses worldwide use this day to highlight the sentience of animals and encourage compassionate care. By joining these efforts, participants help create a better future for all animals, both wild and domesticated. 

Make sure to give your pets a big hug on October 4!
