When is Walk Your Dog Week?

From October 1 to October 7.

What is Walk Your Dog Week?

Walk Your Dog Week is a seven-day reminder that dogs need regular exercise, companionship, and fresh air. Founded in 2010 by pet lifestyle expert Colleen Paige to address canine obesity and behavior issues, the week encourages owners to make walking part of their routine — for the dog's health, the bond with their human, and the simple joy of being outdoors together.

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.
