October may be mostly associated with falling leaves, pumpkin spice lattes, and spooky Halloween adventures, but there's something else you should definitely know about: National Pet Wellness Month.

Your dog or cat is an important member of your family. They provide unconditional love and are there for us on our best and worst days.
