How You Can Celebrate National Puppy Day!
March 23rd is National Puppy Day! We’ve rounded up the best ways to celebrate this amazing holiday with your pup.
Plan an Adventure
Taking your puppy on an adventure is a great way to celebrate National Puppy Day with your pooch. Research the best dog parks and dog-friendly trails in your city! However, make sure your puppy is full up to date on their medication and shots before taking them too far into public.
Enroll in Puppy Preschool!
Having your pup learn new skills is a great way to celebrate National Puppy Day. Puppy training allows your pooch to learn important life skills, such as potty training and basic commands. These classes also allow your pooch to socialize with other pups and make some friends! Sit Means Sit offers our Puppy Preschool program, which teaches your pooch important skills while allowing them to socialize with other puppies.
Spoil them with presents.
Who doesn’t love presents? National Puppy Day is a great opportunity to spoil your pooch with some new toys. Websites such as Chewy have great toy options for growing pups. We recommend chew toys for young pups to ease their teething phase. We also recommend puzzle toys that can help with your puppy’s cognitive development.
Donate to a local shelter.
Animal shelters are always in need of donations and supplies. A great way to celebrate National Puppy Day is by donating to these amazing organizations. Head over to the animal shelter website in their area. Many animal shelters have a wishlist that lists what supplies they need. You can also donate your time! Check to see if your local animal shelters have a volunteer program.
Adopt a puppy!
If you’ve been considering adding a new furry friend to your family, National Puppy Day is a great day to do so! Many puppies across the United States are looking for their “fur-ever” home. Adopting a puppy can save their life, and give them an amazing home. But only take this step if you can positively, financially, and emotionally support a new pet. Adding a new member to your family should not be a frivolous decision.
