This month consider spoiling your 4-legged family members with unique activities and treats! Here is a list of some activities you or your pooch can participate in throughout the month.

Adopt a Dog:

If you’ve considered adopting a dog, National Dog Month can be a great time to add another family member. Check with local animal shelters or rescue organizations to find a dog that fits well with your lifestyle and home and be mindful of the costs associated with adopting a new dog.

Organize a Dog-Friendly Event:

Gather fellow dog owners and their pets at a park or other pet-friendly venue. It could be a doggie playdate, a picnic, or a fun-filled day of dog games. Here are some great dog-friendly places around the greater Milwaukee area:

  • Salty Paws
  • Hounds & Tap
  • Riley’s Social House
  • Ope! Brewery
  • Black Husky Brewing

Volunteer at a Shelter:

Spend some time volunteering with a local animal shelter or rescue center. If you don’t have the time to volunteer, you can always donate. Consider donating old blankets, bags of food, food and water bowls/dishes, toys, or money.

Host a Pet-Themed Party:

Throw a dog-themed party and invite friends and their furry companions. Include some home-made doggie treats, games for people and a mini obstacle course for the pups.

Get Active:

Explore new outdoor activities you can enjoy with your dogs, such as hiking, swimming, or agility training. It’s a great way to bond and keep both you and your furry friend healthy.

Spoil Your Pup with New Toys and Treats:

Treat your dog to new toys and delicious treats. You could even bake some homemade dog treats for an extra special touch or make homemade dog ice cream!

Doggy Spa Day:

Pamper your pooch with a spa day at home. Give them a relaxing bath, brush their fur, and trim their nails. They’ll appreciate the extra attention and love.
