Never mind, I found the solution
In HTML file form need to changed to

Cat <input type="checkbox" name="pet[]" value="cat">
Dog <input type="checkbox" name="pet[]" value="dog">
Pig <input type="checkbox" name="pet[]" value="pig">

> <br>

and need to changed to
<select name="dates[]" multiple>

Then in PHP need to changed to

$pet = array($_POST['pet']);
$dates = array($_POST['dates']);
