National Love Your Pet Day
Thepetwiki site says "it's a day similar to Valentine's Day." Although we love our pets everyday it's good to have a day to focus on the relationship we have for our furry family members. It's a day to bring happiness into the home all in celebration of Love Your Pet Day.
Wikipedia says "Pets provide their owners (or "guardians") both physical and emotional benefits. Walking a dog can provide both the human and the dog with exercise, fresh air, and social interaction. Pets can give companionship to people who are living alone or elderly adults who do not have adequate social interaction with other people."
It is widely believed among the public, and among many scientists, that pets probably bring mental and physical health benefits to their owners.

Origin of this Holiday
My research did not find the creator, or the origin of this day. It is possible this holiday may of been created by the greeting card industry like many Unofficial holidays are. But... I could not find reference to that either. I did find however, pet related cards you can send based on pets. 123Greeting
This holiday is referred to as a "National" day-
However, I did not find any congressional records or presidential proclamations for this day. Even though I didn't, this is still a holiday that is publicized through social media to celebrate. So enjoy the day and have fun with it.
Recognition about this holiday from:
calendar sites and personal Internet sites that blog and share information about this holiday. Many of these blogs talk about their pets and wish everyone a Happy Love Your Pet Day. Other's give examples of how they are spoiling their pet for the day. And many pet lovers will be posting pictures today of their beloved pets.

Peanut Butter and Pumpkin Puppy Treats Recipe
Celebration Food: Woof woof! This post is all about dogs and pumpkins. Did you know the month of October is National Adopt a dog month? And did you know October is also National Pumpkin month too? Well in honor of that, we picked a Betty Crocker recipe for dogs that has a whole can of pumpkin in it. Give it a try and remember to make these special treats for other National Dog Holidays too. Last but not least, National Cook for your pet day is November 1st.

| Peanut Butter and Pumpkin Puppy Treats Recipe Originally uploaded by Betty Crocker Recipes |
- 3 cups brown rice flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 2 eggs
- 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
DIRECTIONS:
1. Heat oven to 350° F. In large bowl stir all ingredients until soft dough forms.
2. Divide dough in half. Using brown-rice-floured rolling pin, roll each dough half to 1/2 inch thickness on brown-rice-floured surface. Cut with 3-inch cookie cutter. On ungreased cookie sheet, place cutouts about 1 inch apart.
3. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until dry and golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
4. Store in dog treat jar at room temperature up to 1 week. For longer storage keep in refrigerator or freezer.
Tip: To dress up your puppy treats, melt 1 cup yogurt chips (available at pet stores) and 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in microwavable bowl uncovered on High about 1 minute or until mixture can be stirred smooth. Drizzle over puppy treats.
Tip: Check with your vet to make sure that these puppy treats fit into your dog's diet. Be sure to check the recipe for any known foods or ingredients your pet may be allergic to.
