March 23rd is National Puppy Day, a day dedicated to celebrating the joy and companionship that puppies bring into our lives. It’s also a great opportunity to raise awareness about responsible pet ownership and the importance of considering adopting either a puppy (or an older dog, because even the older pups get the zoomies!) If you’re a proud puppy parent, here are five fun activities you can do with your furry friend to celebrate National Puppy Day:

1. Spoil Your Puppy

Treat your pup to a new toy, a special treat, or a new collar or bandana. You can also make your puppy a homemade cake or other treats.

2. Have a Puppy Playdate

Socialisation is important for puppies, so why not arrange a playdate with other puppies? This will help your puppy burn off some energy and make new friends.

3. Share the Love on Social Media

5. Volunteer at a Local Animal Rescue

If you don’t have a puppy of your own, you can still celebrate National Puppy Day by volunteering at a local animal charity/rescue. This is a great way to help puppies in need find their forever homes. If you can’t volunteer, consider a donation!
