Today is National Kids and Pets Day – yes, that’s a thing! To be honest with you, I wasn’t sure I was going to get my kids a dog. I grew up with a dog and we had a dog before we had kids (Leon passed away from old age when my kids were babies). But over the last 6 months, the kids have been nonstop asking for a dog. I finally caved in after I found Coco from a local rescue. She was exactly what I was looking for, and getting her is the best decision I’ve made. My kids love her so much, and she has become such an important part of our lives. If you haven’t gotten a pet for your child yet, here are 5 reasons why every child should have a pet.

October is Pet Wellness Month! For all the pet parents out there, I am doing a segment on KTLA to share some of the brand-new essentials from the Amazon-exclusive pet brand, Lesure. All of these products are intended to help pet parents create a safe and cozy space for their fur baby to rest, as an essential anti-anxiety step, including a popular calming dog bed and cat products too.
