National Dog Day 2023: Krispy Kreme, Dunkin' have deals Saturday; Busch has pumpkin brew
View Date:2024-12-23 19:49:18
As if you needed another reason to give your very good girl or boy a special treat, Saturday is National Dog Day, which means dog-centric deals and promotions from retailers nationwide.
National Dog Day was founded in 2004 by pet and family lifestyle expert Colleen Paige, according to Nationaldogday.com. Paige, a conservationist and author, has also founded other holidays such as National Puppy Day, National Mutt Day and National Cat Day.
Paige created the the holidays to "bring attention to the plight of animals around the globe and encourage adoption," the website says, estimating that millions of unwanted pets have been saved as a result.
National Dog Day is celebrated Aug. 26 every year because it is the date that Paige's family adopted her first dog, "Sheltie," from the local animal shelter when Paige was just 10 years old.
Here are some National Dog Day deals to help you celebrate your canine companion.

The Dogs for Joy program is helping increase the number of dogs who work full-time in children's hospitals to bring joy to kids battling illness.
These dogs perform a range of tasks that help medical teams achieve their clinical goals, like keeping a child calm during a medical intervention or providing an incentive for a child to get out of bed and go for a walk, according to the program's website.

The doggie doughnuts will be packaged in a special six-count box for purchase in-store or via the drive-thru, the company said.
