October 22 is a special day for dog lovers everywhere—it's National Make a Dog's Day! This national holiday, celebrated every year, encourages us to do something extra special for our furry friends. It’s a day dedicated to pampering your dog with love, attention, and even a little bit of indulgence. At PicoPets, we believe every dog deserves to feel their best not just today, but every day. That’s we partner with organizations like Lake Norman Humane to make sure every dog has the chance to live a healthy, happy life.
What is National Make a Dog's Day?
National Make a Dog's Day, initiated by Subaru in 2019, is all about celebrating the unique bond we share with our canine companions. It’s also a day to shine a spotlight on shelter dogs—especially those who are often overlooked—encouraging people to adopt, foster, or simply take extra steps to give dogs in need a better life.
But celebrating this day isn’t limited to shelter pets—it’s for every dog! Whether you’re adopting a new best friend or simply showing your current pup some extra love, there are countless ways to make this day extra special.
How to Celebrate with Your Dog
Here are a few ways you can participate in National Make a Dog’s Day, ensuring your pet feels pampered, healthy, and full of joy:
- Special Outings: Take your dog on their favorite walk or hike. Explore a new park or let them indulge in some off-leash time at the dog park.
- Tasty Treats: Whip up a batch of homemade dog-friendly treats, or let them enjoy their favorite chew toy for an extra reward.
- Extra Cuddles and Playtime: Take time out of your day to play fetch, tug-of-war, or simply snuggle on the couch. Dogs thrive on love and attention!
- Health Check-In: Ensure their health and well-being are a priority. A little extra care goes a long way, whether it’s grooming, a vet check-up, or giving them supplements that support their vitality.
How PicoPets Supplements Make Every Dog's Day Better
For dogs waiting for their forever homes, staying healthy is crucial. At PicoPets, we offer a range of supplements that promote long-term wellness for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets in need of a little extra care.
- Pico Silver: Supports immune function and promotes healthy skin and wound healing—perfect for dogs recovering from illness or injury.
- ReMag: Ensures dogs have the energy they need to stay active and playful, while also promoting relaxation and stress reduction.
- PicoMyte: Promotes joint health and supports a strong skeletal system, which is key for older dogs or breeds prone to bone health issues.
By partnering with Pet Organizations, we ensure that the dogs in their care receive these beneficial supplements to stay strong and healthy while they wait for their forever families.
Adopt, Volunteer, or Donate: How You Can Make a Difference
On this National Make a Dog's Day, we encourage you to not only celebrate your own dog but also consider how you can help dogs in need. Here are a few ways you can get involved with Pet Organizations:
- Adopt a Dog: Give a shelter dog their forever home! Check out Lake Norman Humane’s website for available dogs. Adoption is one of the greatest gifts you can give.
- Volunteer: Help out by fostering a dog or volunteering at the shelter. Your time and effort can make a huge difference in the lives of these animals.
- Donate: If you’re unable to adopt or volunteer, consider making a donation. Whether it’s a financial contribution or items like food and toys, every little bit helps.
Plus, for the entire week of National Make a Dog's Day, PicoPets will be matching donations made to Lake Norman Humane. Every dollar you contribute helps shelter dogs get the care and support they need!
Let’s Make Every Day a Dog’s Day
While National Make a Dog’s Day is just one day, the love, care, and attention we give our dogs—and the dogs waiting for homes—should be celebrated every day. At PicoPets, we are proud to play a part in making sure dogs everywhere have the health and vitality they need to enjoy a bright future.
So, this October 22, join us in making a difference. Whether it’s adopting, volunteering, or simply giving your dog an extra belly rub and healthy treat, let’s celebrate all the joy our dogs bring into our lives.
