Celebrate National Dog Day with doggy ice cream August 25

THE WOODLANDS, Texas -- To celebrate National Dog Day 2012, Best Friends Pet Care at 26839 Interstate 45 South in Spring will give away a free doggy ice cream treat to every dog who visits on Saturday, August 25.

The treats are dog-safe, made of yogurt or soy with dog-preferred flavors like peanut butter and honey. Canine guests must be on leash and accompanied by a human companion.

“National Dog Day is a day to honor the dogs in our lives,” says Best Friends manager Susan Adam. “So we’re inviting all dogs– whether Best Friends clients or not – to stop in between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. for a free doggy ice cream.”

Founded in 2004, National Dog Day is observed annually on August 26. It honors dogs of all breeds -- from working dogs to family pets -- and encourage pet owners to do something special for their dog.

This is the second year that Best Friends has run the ice cream giveaway. The company is expanding its National Dog Day celebration this year, starting its observance on Friday, August 24 with treats for dogs participating in its doggy day camp program that day.

Best Friends Pet Care offers boarding, grooming, training and doggy day camp. For information, call 281-298-6500 or visit www.bestfriendspetcare.com.
