NATIONAL SPECIALLY-ABLED PETS DAY – May 3
Wed May 3rd

National Specially-abled Pets Day

On May 3rd, National Specially Ableable Pets Day shines a spotlight on the needs of pets with disabilities.

This day is designated to inform the public about caring for disabled animals. The day is dedicated to disabled animals looking for a home. When considering adopting a new pet family member, animal lovers should also consider choosing a disabled pet. Consider the time, energy, and financial requirements as well as financial requirements before you adopt a pet with special needs.

  • Is your company in need of special preparation? You may need to acquire some new skills based on your pet's needs. You will be the one to provide the services if your pet needs injections or certain forms of therapy
  • If your pet is deaf or blind, you will need to be aware of their needs and safety concerns
  • Is your house adapted to their needs? Both blind and amputees will need special care
  • Specially-abled pets need more veterinary attention. The costs can add up, so consider your budget before you buy, not after

Although pets with disabilities need additional care and accommodations, they do not lack much love and joy to a household.
