6 Cute Ways To Celebrate National Dog Day

August 15 2019

August 22nd is National Dog Day! Fido has certainly earned a special place in our hearts and homes. Your faithful pet will always brighten up your day with his adorable antics and unconditional love. This is a great time to honor that special bond between you and your pet by making your pooch feel extra loved. In this article from Armitage Animal Hospital, a Newmarket, ON vet offers some great tips on celebrating this special doggy holiday.

Treats

If you were to ask Fido what he wanted for his special day, we’re pretty sure that snacks would be at the top of the list. Store-bought treats are fine, but you can also give your furry pal something extra-special, like doggy ice cream or even a steak.

Yard Pupgrade

Do you have a yard for Fido to play in? Get your four-legged friend a kiddie pool to splash around in. If your pup likes to dig, make him a sandbox, and let him see you bury a few toys in it. If you want to go all-out, get your cute pet his own doghouse.

New Bed

As far as Fido is concerned, comfy beds are one of life’s greatest gifts. Even if your pooch already has a bed, he may appreciate having another one.

Toys

One of Fido’s cutest habits is the way he gets super excited when he spots a new toy. Get that tail wagging by getting your furry friend a fun new plaything. Classic dog toys will always be popular with our canine buddies, but you can also offer your pooch something more modern, like an interactive ball or a mechanical ball launcher.

Adventures

Man’s Best Friend is very curious, and loves checking out new places. Take Fido to a park or trail, or visit a dog-friendly café with him.

Belly Rubs

Your dog really just wants to hang out with you, and would love to be by your side 24/7, collecting belly rubs and ear scritches, and as much bacon as possible. Spend some quality time with your beloved pet! Enjoy an extra-long walk with Fido, or indulge him with a fun play session.
