National Pet Month is still going on! Wondering how you can celebrate it? How about making your pet famous?

All this month, you can submit a photo of your pet to LamarLovesPets.com! The billboard company is letting you submit a photo of your pet so they can show it on a billboard in your area!

The company is taking submissions through May 31st! The cost is usually $45, but if you use a code, it will be free! There are tons of locations to choose from, so you know which specific billboard your pet will be shown on. The picture of your pet will be shown for a fifteen-minute window, so you miss it once, you'll still get to see it again.

Make sure  you get your submissions in early though, because they do reach a maximum amount daily.

It's National Pet Day - More treats! We love our furry (feathered, gilled, shelled, etc.) friends. Pet ownership in the U.S. has jumped significantly over the past three decades. As of 2023,  66% of U.S. households (that's about 86.9 million homes) own a pet. From companionship to emotional support, pets are a vital part of their owners’ lives. In fact, 85% of dog owners and 76% of cat owners consider their pets to be a member of the family. Come on - you know you've said it too!

Think about this: A record 3.6 million Americans tuned into the Puppy Bowl this year. If you missed it, Team Fluff brought home the “Lombarky” trophy after beating out Team Ruff 87 to 83.

Pet Love in the U.S.:

We all agree that the love of a pet is priceless - but the cost of owning one is not always. Veterinary care, grooming, food, treats, among other things, can add up quickly. A  Forbes survey of more than 5,000 U.S. dog owners found that 41% of dog owners spend between $500 and $1,999 a year on their dogs.  

If an unexpected vet bill pops up for a major incident, you could be on the hook for thousands of dollars just for that—42% of pet owners say it's tough to cover a surprise vet bill of $999 or less. Pet insurance can partially reimburse you. And while you may not want to add another expense to your pet care costs, you might be surprised at how affordable pet insurance can be. Will it always be accepted? No. Just like our insurance, there are stipulations.

We love our pets so much. that in a recent poll, 51% of pet owners said think they could sell merchandise of their pet to other people online.  Thirty three percent of pet owners have already designed their own pet "merch."

So on National Pet Day, give your pet some extra treats, so they know you love them. Yeah - like they don't already!

And here are the states with the most devoted dog owners (based on percentage of dog owners who would spend $4,000 or more out-of-pocket on life-saving medical care for their dog, and percentage of dog owners who stayed at a job they disliked because it allowed them to work remotely or had a dog-friendly office).
