Happy National Dog Day!

Happy National Dog Day! Celebrating Our Beloved Canine Companions

Every year on August 26, pet lovers worldwide celebrate National Dog Day—a special occasion dedicated to honoring all breeds and mixed companions, raising awareness about shelter dogs, and encouraging adoption and animal welfare. Founded in 2004 by pet advocate Colleen Paige, the date holds personal meaning—it marks the day her family adopted their first dog when she was ten years old.

Today, let’s join in the celebration by showering our pups with love, compassion, and maybe a few extra Teeny Tiny Treats—because they deserve the very best.


Why National Dog Day Matters

  • Honors every dog: Whether they're purebred, mixed, working, or rescue, today is all about celebrating their unconditional love and unwavering loyalty.

  • Spotlights adoption: Millions of dogs enter shelters each year. National Dog Day serves as a powerful reminder of how adoption can change lives—for both pets and people.

  • Celebrates canine heroes: From service dogs and therapy dogs to K9 officers and rescue pups, today acknowledges the incredible roles dogs play in our world.


How You Can Celebrate with Your Furry Friend

Here are some heartfelt and fun ways to make National Dog Day extra special:

1. Brush Up on Doggy Hygiene & Wellness

Show your pup some extra love with grooming, a refreshing bath, or a check-in on their vaccinations and parasitic prevention.

2. Adopt, Foster, or Donate

If you're ready, consider starting or expanding your family by rescuing a dog. Not ready yet? You can still support local shelters with donations or volunteer time—every little helps.

3. Share Joy Online with #NationalDogDay

Celebrate your pup on social media with themed photos, stories, or cute videos. It’s a great way to spread awareness and uplift others in the pet-loving community.

4. Pure, Simple Treat Time

Opt for clean, nutritious rewards during today's festivities. That’s where Snaggletooth Pet’s Teeny Tiny Treats shine—they’re simple (just 100% single-ingredient liver), low-calorie, and oh-so-delicious.
