When is National Hug Your Dog Day?

Every year on April 10.

What is National Hug Your Dog Day?

National Hug Your Dog Day, observed on April 10, encourages dog owners to slow down and show their pets a little extra affection — by way of a gentle cuddle, a favorite scratch, a long walk, or simply paying attention. The day celebrates the deep bond between humans and dogs while gently reminding owners to learn each dog's body language, since not every pup actually enjoys a tight hug.

How to celebrate

Mark the day with a poster made in Dayfeed — pick your favourite photo as the background, share it to your story or group chat, and set a reminder so you never miss it next year.
