Happy National Dog Day from TurfMutt

August 26th is National Dog Day, and TurfMutt wants to wish all of his four-legged friends out there a very happy day! One of TurfMutt’s favorite things to do is to get outdoors with his humans. Here are three tips for honoring your dog on National Dog Day by getting the whole family outside.

Happy National Dog Day from TurfMutt

• Take a walk. You can walk through your neighborhood or go to a local park to take a stroll. Let your kids help pick the route, and then pack up the whole family to frolic outdoors.
• Play a game. Tossing a ball, throwing a Frisbee or playing chase are all good ways to get the your family – including your fur-kids – outdoors and moving!
• Plan a picnic. You can do a picnic in your own backyard or at a local park to get a nice dose of “Vitamin N.” Pack a treat for your dog, as well as for the rest of the crew.

On National Dog Day TurfMutt – a rescue dog himself – also wants to remind everyone to adopt rather than shop. Watch TurfMutt’s adoption message for more.
