Mothers have a day. Fathers have a day. Children even have a day. It stands to reason, then, that man’s best friend should have a day of his or her own as well. Choose a day that seems significant to you (like the day you first adopted your dog) and then observe the following customs:

Buy some trendy new dog toys.
Let’s face it. You haven’t bought your pooch a new chew toy since 1982. It’s time to bring sexy back with cute, trendy dog toys that say, “hey, my pet totally belongs in Hollywood.”

Take your dog on a walk.
That spare tire around your dog’s waist didn’t arrive there by accident. Use Man’s Best Friend Day as a reason to take your pooch on the prowl to the local park.

Give your dog a bath.
Before you start complaining about how hard it is to wash your own pet, consider this. You can give your dog a nice, pretty bath at a local pet wash for less than it will cost you to hire a cleaning lady to do damage control after you try to clean Fido at home.

Dress your dog up.
Dog costumes aren’t just for Halloween. Now, jump online and visit My Hollywood Pets to get your dog a new look for Man’s Best Friend Day. While you’re at it, why not dig up one of your old costumes as well?
