Every year on February 3rd, pet owners around the world celebrate Doggie Date Night in honor of their furry friends. Let’s take a closer look at this special day and how it came about as well as some ideas for how you can use it to market your pet business.
How Did Doggie Date Night start?
Well, no one seems to know for sure, there are theories that Doggie Date Night was started by an animal shelter in the United States. This group wanted to encourage pet owners to spend more quality time with their furry friends and have dedicated a whole day to just that purpose. What do you think? Do you know where it started?
Celebrating Doggie Date Night
On Doggie Date Night, many people choose to treat their pup to something extra special. Whether it’s taking them on a long walk in the park or spoiling them with some new toys or treats, there are lots of ways you can make sure they know they’re loved on this special day.
For those who don’t have a furry friend, consider supporting your local animal shelter or rescue organization by donating money or supplies like food and blankets.
This is also an excellent way to get involved in your community and show others what your pet business stands for.
