The dog-centric holiday is held the second Saturday in May. National Hot Dog Day, National Chocolate Cake Day, National Brownie Day: There’s a national day for almost every occasion now.
But an important one for dog owners – particularly women – is coming up this month: National Dog Mom’s Day. The dog-centric holiday will be running through its third year as an officially recognized national day.
It’s held the second Saturday in May, just before Mother’s Day. National Dog Mom’s Day became official in 2018, when a dog-friendly dating app called Dig created a change.org petition and submitted the idea to the National Day Calendar.
