6 Super Fun Ways To Celebrate National Dog Day
Dog lovers rejoice! August 26 is National Dog Day, where we honor our furry friends. I know that my life has improved immensely since getting my pup and she, like all dogs, deserves to be celebrated. If you are a pup parent, you likely feel the same way. However, it can be difficult to plan out the perfect day to let your dog know how much you love them. To make your job a little bit easier, here are six ideas on how you can celebrate the pawsome holiday.
Go On A Hike

Going on a hike is a great way to get some fresh air with your pup. I personally like hiking because it’s a fun way to get in some exercise. Now, my dog likes going on hikes because her idea of fun is sniffing approximately 50 trees in under 30 minutes.

My furry friend and I like to celebrate joyous occasions by heading over to a restaurant with a dog-friendly patio. While we eat, we enjoy eavesdropping on other people’s conversations.

During the summer, there’s nothing better than going to the beach with your furry friends. Pack a few towels, lunch for you and your canine companion, and a tennis ball or two.
Go To The Dog Park

After the past 18 months of quarantining together, I can tell my dog is a little bit sick of me. For this reason, she enjoys socializing with others at our local dog park. For National Dog Day, consider bringing some extra treats to give to all the pups at the park. Just make sure that you ask their owners first before you give them one.
Throw A Party
Dogs love any excuse to party. Be sure to decorate your home with balloons and streamers to make it festive. You also obviously will need a cake for the occasion. Here are some of our top picks for dog-friendly cakes that are relatively easy to bake.
