National Dog Day stands as one of our favorite holidays, so we’ve made a complete guide on all our favorite canine quotes, photos, and things to do. Man’s best friend deserves to be celebrated every day of the year, so make sure you don’t skip out on your furry friend’s big day. Besides, who needs an extra excuse to give your pup an extra sweet treat?

How To Celebrate

Go for a long walk in a new place.

Most dogs love exploring new and interesting places with their best friend. If there’s a downtown area, beach, or local trail you’ve been wanted to check out, take your dog with you. And if your pet is afraid of new places or people, take them on their favorite familiar route.

Host a pet playdate.

Does your dog have another furry best friend? Help them enjoy the holiday together by hosting a playdate. Or take your dog to the dog park to meet plenty of new friends.

Bake a dog friendly treat.

There’s lots of recipes online for doggy cakes, homemade biscuits, and pupsicles. It’s fun to make something homemade for your pet, and they’re sure to love whatever you give them. Plus, if you’re not a fan of baking, you can just pick up your pup’s favorite on the way home.

Donate to your local animal shelter.

Show your best friend how much you care with a donation to help their furry kind find homes of their own. Or if you have the ability, sign up to foster or adopt.

Spoil them silly.

Did you need an excuse to buy that dog bed with your dog’s embroidered name? Or maybe you spotted an adorable pet bandana but had no occasion to buy it. This Dogs Day, take advantage of the excuse and splurge for those fun pet gifts.

Tell them you love them.

It’s simple, easy, and oh-so-important. Don’t forget to tell your best friend how much they mean to you.
