President’s Day isn’t just about honoring past leaders—it’s also the perfect time to celebrate your four-legged best friend! After all, many U.S. presidents have had beloved dogs by their sides. This year, why not turn the holiday into a patriotic paw-ty for your own furry commander-in-chief? Here are some fun and creative ways to celebrate President’s Day with your dog!
1. Dress Your Pup Like a Presidential Pooch
Get into the patriotic spirit by dressing your dog in red, white, and blue. A star-spangled bandana, a mini top hat, or even a presidential-style bow tie will have your pup looking ready for office. Just make sure your dog is comfortable and safe in their outfit!
2. Plan a Presidential Walk in the Park
Take your pup on a stroll through your local park and pretend you’re taking them on a White House tour! Did you know that President Teddy Roosevelt had a dog named Skip who loved exploring? Channel that adventurous spirit and enjoy the great outdoors together.
3. Create a ‘Paw-litical’ Photo Op
Set up a fun photo shoot with patriotic decorations and props. You can make a little podium and let your pup “run for office.” Share the pictures on social media with fun captions like, “Vote for Barkington 2024!” or “Commander-in-Chief of Cuddles.” Tag @PattysPetFoods so we can see your presidential pooch!
4. Treat Your Pup to Presidential Snacks
Even presidents have favorite foods, so why not give your pup a special treat? Our all-natural dog treats from Patty’s Pet Foods are fit for a leader! Whether it’s a tasty jerky treat or a calming chew, your dog will appreciate their own executive order for deliciousness.
5. Teach Your Dog a ‘Presidential’ Trick
Take some time on President’s Day to teach your pup a new trick—maybe a dignified handshake or a regal wave! Positive reinforcement with treats will help your dog feel like the top dog of the country.
6. Host a Doggy ‘Oval Paw-ffice’ Playdate
Invite fellow dog lovers for a President’s Day-themed doggy playdate. Set up fun activities like a “treat election” where pups vote with their paws for their favorite snacks. It’s a great way for your dog to socialize while you chat with fellow pet parents.
7. Relax Like a Presidential Pup
After all the excitement, wind down with some quality snuggle time. Even the busiest leaders need a break! Cozy up with your dog, read a book about famous White House pets, or simply enjoy a relaxing moment together.
