Celebrate National Dog Day on August 26th!

Published on August 14th, 2018

If you didn’t know that August 26th is National Dog Day, you do now! Whether you have a dog of your own or you’re celebrating from afar, use this day to celebrate all of the special four-legged friends in your life. The goal of National Dog Day is to celebrate all dogs regardless of breed, age or upbringing. More than just our everyday companions, dogs touch the lives of everyone with which they come into contact. Here are some ways our veterinarian near Albany Park suggests you celebrate this special day.

A Doggy Date

What is your dog’s favorite thing to do? Go to the nearest park and play fetch? Go for a long walk? You know your dog better than anyone, so pick an activity that will make them happy. If how you celebrate involves extra hugs and kisses, that’s perfectly okay, too!

Buy Them a New Toy or Treat

Besides you, there’s likely not many things your dog loves more than toys or treats. Stop by your local pet store to find them a new toy or treat they will love!

Get a Dog!

If you don’t have a dog and you’ve been waiting for a sign to get one, here it is. As long as you are prepared for the responsibility, getting a dog will absolutely change your life for the better. Find a local shelter near you that is in need of a new loving owner. Once you have a dog, make sure you set up an appointment with our veterinarian near Albany Park, so we can start getting to know you and your pup!
