Every pet owner knows the unconditional love and boundless joy that our animal companions bring into our lives. Whether it’s your dog waiting at the door with a wagging tail, your cat purring softly on your lap, or your rabbit, parrot, or even bearded dragon showing affection in their own quirky way, pets have a magical way of making life better. And here at KOLAS dispensary, we believe that kind of love deserves to be celebrated in a big way.
That’s why June is officially Pet Appreciation Month at KOLAS. It’s our way of honouring the furry, feathered, and scaly friends who brighten our days, and it’s a call to action for the entire Sacramento cannabis community to come together and show off their beloved pets.
Through contests, giveaways, educational events, and in-store celebrations, this month is all about bonding, wellness, and community spirit. So grab your best bud—your dog, your cat, your iguana—and get ready for a paw-some celebration.
Why KOLAS Celebrates Pet Appreciation Month
Pets are more than companions—they’re family. They support our mental health, keep us active, and offer emotional comfort in ways no words ever could. At KOLAS dispensary, we recognise the profound impact pets have on our lives, and we also understand that many of our customers see their animals as an integral part of their wellness journeys.
Cannabis and wellness go hand in hand, and for many of us, so do pets. Whether it’s winding down with your favourite strain after a walk with your pup, or sharing quiet time with your cat while enjoying CBD, the intersection of cannabis and pet companionship is real—and beautiful.
That’s why Pet Appreciation Month is so important to KOLAS. It’s a joyful, inclusive celebration of pets, people, and the positive impact they make in each other’s lives.
