Your pet deserves the spotlight in U.S. Veterans Magazine
Attention, military and veteran pet lovers. Does your four-legged bestie have a personality that’s larger than life? Maybe your dog runs the household, your cat has perfected the art of ignoring orders or your horse considers every carrot a well-earned promotion.
We want to meet them!
U.S. Veterans Magazine is launching Paws on Parade, a fun, photo-filled celebration of the animals who bring joy, laughter and companionship to our military and veteran community.
We’re inviting veterans, service members, military spouses and military families to nominate their favorite four-legged companions for a chance to be featured in our March 2027 issue.
All four-legged besties are welcome! Dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and other beloved companions are invited. They don’t need special training, a service animal designation or an extraordinary story. We want the funny habits, sweet moments and larger-than-life personalities that make your pet unforgettable.
How to Nominate Your Bestie
It’s easy! Just share:
- Your pet’s name and a favorite high-resolution photo
- Your name and connection to the military community
- A short description (50–75 words) of what makes your pet special. Are they the household boss, a professional napper, an enthusiastic greeter or a lovable troublemaker?
- Your contact information so we can reach you if your bestie is selected
Nomination deadline: January 4, 2027
Your Bestie Could Be a Magazine Star!
Selected pets will appear in the March 2027 issue of U.S. Veterans Magazine, alongside their photos and the stories that make them special.
We may also share selected submissions on our website and social media, giving our community even more opportunities to celebrate its four-legged friends.
So search your camera roll, choose that irresistible photo and tell us why your bestie deserves a little fame.
Four legs. Big personalities. Paws on Parade.
