Yay, it’s National Dog Day! Life is amazing with a dog by your side. Dogs make everything better. Hug your dog today and every day and let them know they are appreciated for making your life so much better! Happy National Dog Day to the dogs that love us more than anything in the whole entire world! Being your dog’s favorite person is a flex!
According to NationalDogDay.com,
“National Dog Day was created to honor dogs more than we currently do, to give them “a day”, to show deep appreciation for our long connection to each other – for their endearing patience, unquestioning loyalty, for their work, their capacity for love and their ability to impact our lives every day in the most miraculous ways. National Dog Day wishes to encourage dog ownership of all breeds, mixed and pure – and embraces the opportunity for all dogs to live a happy, safe and abuse-free life”.

Celebrating the Big and Small Ways Dogs Make Our Lives Better
Whether your dog is a playful pup or a seasoned senior, there’s no denying their positive impact on our lives. Here are just a few ways our furry friends make our days better:
- Unconditional Love: Dogs offer a love that’s pure and unwavering. From those enthusiastic greetings at the door to the comforting cuddles on the couch, their affection is a constant source of happiness. Click HERE to treat yourself with a pet parent t-shirt or hoodie to show the world how proud you are to have a dog as part of your family.
- Stress Busters: Let’s face it, life can be stressful. However, studies have shown that interacting with dogs can lower our blood pressure, reduce anxiety, and even boost our mood. Their playful energy and happy-go-lucky nature are simply contagious!
- Active Companions: Dogs are natural motivators to get up and get moving. They require walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures, which help us stay active and healthy.
- Social Butterflies: Walking your dog opens doors for social interaction. It’s a fantastic way to meet fellow dog lovers and build new friendships. When I’m out and about with my dogs, I always get stopped because everyone just loves my dogs.
Celebrating Every Dog on National Dog Day
National Dog Day isn’t just about pampering your own pooch (although, you should definitely do that too!). It’s also a day to advocate for all dogs and encourage responsible pet parenting. Whether you have a purebred pup or a loveable mutt, every dog deserves a happy, healthy, and abuse-free life. Consider supporting your local animal shelter or volunteering your time. Every little bit counts!
Shower Your Dog with Love on National Dog Day (and Every Day!)
So, how can you celebrate your furkid on National Dog Day? Here are some ideas:
- Hug your dog today and every day: Let them know how much you love and appreciate them.
- Spoil them with treats: Spoil your furry friend with something they’ll love like taking them for a ride to get a pup cup, unboxing a mystery box of dog treats, letting them choose a new dog toy, or bake them some homemade dog treats. Click HERE for a list of must-have dog products.
- Spend quality time together: Take your dog for a walk, play fetch, or simply cuddle up and enjoy their company.
- Cuddles and belly rubs: Make sure your dog knows how much you love them with some extra cuddles and belly rubs.
- Get in the photo with your dog: Capture your dog’s goofy smile or majestic pose to share the love on social media, but don’t forget to get in a few photos too! Sometimes as pet parents we forget to pause for a second and take pictures WITH our dogs instead of just OF our dogs. Cherish the moment and have photos of your dog with yourself included to look back o. You’ll be glad you got in the photo! (don’t forget to tag us @dogmompov & use the hashtags #DogMomBehindTheCam & #DogDadBehindTheCam).
National Dog Day is a wonderful reminder to cherish the special bond we share with our dogs. But let’s be honest, who needs a designated day to appreciate our furry family members? Every day with our dogs is a gift. So, celebrate your dog today (and every day!) by showing them all the love they deserve.
