When is Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day?
Celebrate Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day on the 23rd of February. This is the day after National Walk Your Dog Day. So, you can spend the 22nd having a really fun walk with your pet and burning off a lot of calories and then spend the next day indoors baking goodies and not feeling quite so guilty about it.
Many national days and holidays have been restricted and altered in recent times with lockdowns and Covid-restrictions. But, one thing that has increased is our time baking and spending quality time with our pets. So, it makes sense that in February 2021, we extend that into baking for our pets.
