National Dog Day
Rascodog is offering 50% off all products and asking you to clean up in honor of your dog!
Next Wednesday, August 26 is National Dog Day. Pet lifestyle expert and author Colleen Paige started National Dog Day to recognize the constant and unconditional love we receive daily from our best friends.
“Dogs put their lives on the line every day – for their law enforcement partner, for their blind companion, for a child who is disabled, for our freedom and safety by detecting bombs and drugs and pulling victims of tragedy from wreckage…National Dog Day wishes to encourage dog ownership of all breeds, mixed and pure – and embraces the opportunity for all dogs to live a happy, safe and ”abuse-free life”. -Colleen Paige
It is a day to recognize the powerful impact dogs have on our lives, to raise awareness about dog-related issues such as euthanasia, breed-specific legislation and responsible dog ownership.
Here are some ideas on how to celebrate with your own pooch:
- Stop by your local dog-friendly bakery and buy him some homemade treats! Head over to one of our favorite stores on the South-side of Boston.
- Spend some extra time on your walk and allow your dog to get in a few extra sniffs here and there (and don’t embarrass your dog by not cleaning up after him).
- Take your dog to the local dog park and let him off-leash.
- Have a neighborhood ‘dog party’. Collect items from your friends and neighbors and donate them to a local shelter.
- Curl up with your best friend and watch your favorite doggie movie! DogTipper.com has a great list of dog movies to check out!
- Organize a neighborhood clean up and bring along your ReadyBags! Show your dogs you appreciate them by keeping their environment clean and smelling fresh.
- If you don’t have a dog that’s okay. You can volunteer your time at a local animal shelter. There are thousands of shelter dogs looking for a little exercise and human affection.
In honor of the dogs, we are offering 50% off ALL Rascodog products on National Dog Day! That’s right, half off!! Simply order as you would through our website, and you will receive the discount at checkout.
Happy National Dog Day!!
