Double Chevron Left Back to Sports

National Dog Day is coming up on August 26th! 🐶 What better way to honor your pup than with some truly fun, action-packed activities that you can both enjoy? The great thing is that the summer offers endless opportunities for you and your best puppy pal to have a ton of great fun in the sun together!

Here are 8 Fun Ways to Honour Your Furry Friend this National Dog Day :

1. Enjoy a Dog-Friendly Beach

One surefire way to make your dog happy is to bring him or her to a dog-friendly beach for the day! Head to the beach early so that it’s not too hot; ideally in the morning or early afternoon. Make sure to pack their water, treats, leash, blanket and other essentials for the day and then head out for your beach adventure!

2. Go Swimming

While you’re at the beach, jump in the nice cool lake with your pup for some nice swimming fun! Throw a ball or frisbee in the water and play some fetch while you’re at it. They’ll have so much fun and you’ll be so glad you made that extra effort.

3. Go Paddleboarding

Put on your lifejackets and enjoy some paddleboarding on the water! It’s a great way for you and your puppy pal to get some exercise and enjoy some good quality-time together. Have some water and treats on the paddleboard so that they can stay well-nourished.

4. Go Hiking

Pack some snacks, water and blanket and head for some good old-fashioned hiking in nature! Your dog loves going for walks and smelling new things, so why not make it more exciting for them by going on a fun hiking adventure? Make sure to give your pup some water on the trek up and take lots of breaks along the way so that you can both eat and lay down on a blanket and rest together.

5. Head on a Camping Trip

Your dog loves to be in nature and exercising and nothing screams that more than a nice camping trip! Pack all of the essential camping items (i.e. tent, blow-up mattress, blankets, sleeping bags, food, drinks, etc.) and then head out for a camping day or weekend. The length of trip will depend on your personal preferences and comfort levels.

6. Enjoy a Picnic in the Park

Grab your picnic basket, blanket, dog-friendly treats and head to the park for a nice picnic lunch! Your dog will love the effort you’re putting into making this National Dog Day so special. Who knows? Maybe your dog will meet other friendly pups and make new friends along the way.

7. Schedule a Fun Playdate

If your dog has a best dog pal, make sure to plan a fun playdate with them so they can socialize, run and play together! You can also head to your local dog park and let them play with another dog - if they get along well of course!

8. Play a Great Game of Frisbee or Soccer

Make sure your dog gets some great exercise by scheduling a day of frisbee or soccer at your local dog park or even in your own backyard (if there’s enough space). Maybe your puppy pal has another favorite sport to play, then incorporate that for the day. The key is to make it personalized and fun depending on what your dog loves to do most.
