It is observed annually on August 10th, and it provides an opportunity for dog owners to spoil their furry friends with treats, toys, and extra cuddles.

The holiday was created to recognize the importance of dogs in our lives and to encourage dog owners to take some extra time out of their busy schedules to show their pets some love. While we love our dogs every day, National Spoil Your Dog Day gives us an excuse to go the extra mile in treating our furry friends like royalty.

Spend some quality time snuggling with your dog and watching a movie. Make sure to have some of The Dog Bakery's cheese biscuits on hand for a yummy movie snack.
