National Dog Day is celebrated on August 26th every year, and there are plenty of ways to unleash your appreciation for your furry loved ones on this day and beyond. Why? Because there’s always a reason for a paw-ty.

Salty Paws Pittsburgh

Treat your pup to Salty Paws Pittsburgh, the first dog-inspired ice cream bar in Pennsylvania, with flavors ranging from Maple Bacon, Vanilla, Pumpkin, Blueberry, and Peanut Butter to more.

Plus, they have a doggie bakery that will be the bark of the town. You can even celebrate your loyal companion’s birthday party, host a fundraiser, or organize other pet-friendly events here! 

Wagsburgh

Located in the heart of the North Side, Wagsburgh offers an abundance of treats, toys, and other essentials that will keep that tail wagging.

Explore Wagsburgh’s variety of products, and also sign up for their loyalty program! Who doesn’t like to save while spoiling their pup in the best ways?

Grist House

Bring your friendly pup to make other furry friends at Grist House, the most dog-friendly brewery in Pittsburgh.

Enjoy a brewski, let your pup soak up all the lovable attention, and even savor a “Dogtail,” a couple of cocktails inspired by the brewery’s beloved dogs! 

Allegheny Parks: Pooches in the Pool

Can’t celebrate on National Dog Day? That doesn’t matter when a pool is involved! Your doggie won’t care — bring them to Pooches in the Pool on Labor Day, which is Monday, September 2nd from 4pm – 6:30pm.

Splish, splash, and enjoy the last dog days of summer. Affordable Tickets to Pooches in the Pool can be found here for North Park Pool or Settlers Cabin Park Wave Pool.
