While we celebrate our dogs everyday, National Dog Day comes around just once a year. This year we’re asking the question, how do our dogs actually want to celebrate this year? After talking to our expert pups, we’ve compiled a list of seven ways our dogs want to be celebrated this year.
1. Going on an Adventure Walk
Skip the usual route and explore a new trail, beach, or dog-friendly park. New smells=peak excitement for dogs!
2. Homemade Dog Treats
Combine some of your pup’s favorite ingredients like peanut butter, pumpkin, or sweet potato-based and bake them into the perfect crunch treat for them.
3. Quality Snuggles
The only thing your pup loves more than snuggles is the person they’re snuggling with. Take some extra cozy time for you and your pup, they’ll love it.
4. Doggie Playdate or Park Trip
If your pup is social, arrange a meet-up with their favorite friends. Or take them to the dog park, they’ll love running around and meeting some new friends.
5. Pup Spa Day
Not every pup loves a fresh blow out, but if your pup likes a trip to the spa a fresh look and a manicure can make them look and feel their best.
6. Road Trip
No need to book hotels along the way. Taking your pup on a long drive with the windows down, maybe even stopping for a pup cup along the way, is the perfect trip to show your love.
7. Puppy Party
If you want to go all out, invite your canine neighbors over, order a dog friendly cake and put out all of the squeaky toys. Some dogs don’t love the attention, so before sending out the invitations get a good sense of your dog’s social personality.
No matter how you celebrate, National Dog Day is about honoring the unconditional love our dogs give us daily. Whether it’s extra treats, snuggles, or an afternoon adventure, show your pup how much they mean to you—on their terms. Need an easy way to celebrate your pup every day?
