From Pumpkin Spice Dog Brew to Doggie Doughnuts, Canine Companions Pampered Nationwide
National Dog Day is approaching, and dog lovers all over the country are in for a treat – literally. Retailers are gearing up to celebrate man’s best friend with a plethora of dog-centric deals and promotions that will surely delight furry companions and their owners alike.
Founded in 2004 by Colleen Paige, a pet and family lifestyle expert, National Dog Day has evolved into a cherished occasion for celebrating the bond between humans and their beloved dogs. Paige, known for her dedication to animal welfare, is also the founder of other animal-focused holidays such as National Puppy Day, National Mutt Day, and National Cat Day. These holidays serve as platforms to shed light on animal welfare issues and promote adoption, having collectively saved millions of unwanted pets.
This year’s National Dog Day, observed on August 26, holds a special significance for Paige, as it marks the day her family adopted her first dog, “Sheltie,” from a local animal shelter when she was just ten years old.
In honor of National Dog Day, retailers are offering a variety of deals to celebrate dogs and their companions:
Busch Light’s Pumpkin Spice Dog Brew: Pooches can indulge in the pumpkin spice trend with Busch Light’s limited-edition Pumpkin Spice Busch Dog Brew. This non-alcoholic, all-natural concoction is made with pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, and water, providing a refreshing treat for dogs.
