International Dog Day, celebrated annually on August 26th, is a special occasion to honor our furry friends. In 2023, over 65 million households in the United States owned a dog, and annual spending on pets reached $103.6 billion.

Are you a vendor in the pet industry?

As a vendor, this day represents a golden opportunity to attract new customers and retain existing ones by offering dog-friendly services. 🐕

1. Caterers and Food Trucks 🌭

Offer special menus for dogs. Pet owners love to spoil their companions, and gourmet treats for dogs can attract many customers. 🍪 Imagine homemade biscuits or balanced meals specially designed for dogs.

2. Photographers 📸

Provide special photo sessions for dogs and their owners. 🐶 These captured moments become precious memories. Additionally, cute and professional photos are perfect for social media, increasing your visibility.

3. Accessories and Clothing for Dogs 🏴☠️

Showcase a unique collection of accessories and clothing for dogs. 🥸 Personalized collars, bandanas, or even fun costumes for dogs can draw attention and make your booth a must-visit.
