Celebrate your four-legged legend with tunes, treats, and tail wags in true NYC style.
Every August 26, we raise a paw to the pups who make life better, whether they’re fetching tennis balls, guarding snacks, or simply being the best emotional support system on four legs. This National Dog Day, we’re turning up the volume and giving our furry friends the spotlight they deserve.

Fun Fact: Dogs Love Music Too
Studies show dogs respond to music—especially classical and soft rock. So don’t be surprised if your pup perks up when “The Puppy Song” or “Old King” comes on. Just maybe skip the heavy metal unless your dog’s into headbanging.
Whether your dog is a roadie, a show-stealer, or just your best friend, today’s the day to celebrate them in style. So press play, give belly rubs, and let the love (and the playlist) roll.
