We had a blast celebrating National Dog Day with all of you on Facebook. And thanks to you, our faithful followers, Halo Pets will be donating a whopping 311 meals to dogs who are desperate to find new homes! Teamwork makes the dream work and you should all pat yourselves on the back for coming together to make the day a success for lonely dogs in sad situations.
In case you missed it, we asked you to elaborate on what makes dogs special and so many of you chimed in with extraordinarily heartwarming answers. The best part of this year’s amazing National Dog Day celebration is that, in addition to coming together to share just why dogs are so wonderful, Halo Pets promised to provide a meal to a shelter dog for every comment made! We sincerely thank Halo Pets for their warm generosity and we ask that you please remember them when shopping for natural pet products and supplies.
