National Pet Choking Prevention Day is observed worldwide every June 22. This awareness campaign was launched in 2023 by Bow Wow Labs and veterinarian Dr. Judy Morgan to educate pet owners about choking hazards and how to pet-proof their homes. The day highlights the importance of recognizing common choking risks for pets, which include toys, treats, and everyday household items. Statistics indicate that over 200,000 pet choking accidents occur annually in the United States, making it crucial for pet owners to understand how to safeguard their animals. Typical customs include identifying choking hazards in the home, disposing of unsafe toys and treats, and purchasing safer alternatives. Participants are encouraged to share information on social media using the hashtags #NationalPetChokingPreventionDay and #EndPetChoking to further educate others about the dangers of choking.
