National Love Your Pet Day is observed annually on Feb. 20. It is a day to celebrate the four-legged loved ones in your life by pampering them and giving them attention. Though there are several ways to celebrate the holiday, the best way is to give your pet treats. You can also groom them and send e-cards to other pet lovers.
