Why Dog Dads Deserve Their Own Holiday

What is Dog Dad Day?

Dog Dad Day—also known as National Dog Dad Day—is celebrated the Saturday before Father’s Day, which means it lands on June 15, 2024. And yes, it’s a real thing.

It’s a day made for the guys who:

• Say “bless you” when their dog sneezes

• Know their pup’s sunbeam schedule

• Have five names for their dog and use all of them daily

Dog Dad Day is about recognising the men behind the leash—and the lint roller.

Why We Need a National Dog Dad Day

Dog dads do the work. We wipe paws, plan vet visits, and say “no, not that stick” like it’s a full-time job.

But while moms and human dads get all the brunches and cards, dog dads are still out here waiting for a holiday that hits.

And look—we’re not asking for much. Just a national moment of paws and appreciation.

June 14, 2025. Mark It.

Picture this:

• Matching outfits

• Proud dog dad selfies

• Special-edition dog dad t-shirts (hi)

• And maybe—just maybe—a squeaky toy wrapped as a gift

It’s time to make Dog Dad Day a thing. And not just a side note in your calendar app.

Join the Movement. Claim the Day.

At The Dog Dad, we’re building a world where dog dads are loud, proud, and slightly unhinged (in the best way).

Dog Dad Day 2024 is the perfect excuse to go full puppy-love public.
