About the Event
We have spent a lifetime as pet owners and 30 years working with animals. We now run a luxury pet care and boarding establishment in West Yorkshire - and to us, animals make the world go round! With today’s hectic lifestyles, we can all be a little bit too busy with our other commitments to spend the time that we would like to with our pets. So, we have launched the UK’s first National Spend Time With Your Pet Day - to encourage everybody to do just that!
Through the promotion of this new day we also aim to raise awareness for many aspects of pet care and animal issues, such as: the importance of attention, diet, exercise, training, routine treatments and health checks; animal neglect and abuse.
Along with the launch of this National Spend Time With Your Pet Day, we share exciting news of the launch of our own community organisation - Animal Magic Family Trust. Though we have many plans for our organisation, our Trust will initially have 2 goals: 1) To help pets in need whilst their owners are struggling with exceptional circumstances; 2) To launch a National Pet Health Service!
Please visit our pages for more information on our Trust and NPHS - and if you believe in our goals, then we would welcome donations from you! If you would rather donate to other causes and need inspiration, we love the following organisations:
