Origin of National Pet Memorial Day:

This very special day for pet loves was established by the International Association of Pet Cemeteries and Cremoratories(IAPC).

There was some reference to this as a "National Day". However, we found no congressional records or presidential proclamation. We are still trying to identify if this is a true "National" day.
