The American Pet Products Association Celebrates National Dog Day
APPA embraces dog ownership on August 26th for National Dog Day with products dogs will
STAMFORD, Conn., Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In recognition of National Dog Day, observed on August 26, the American Pet Products Association (APPA) is honoring dogs and all the joy they bring to our lives. From rescues and service dogs to senior pets and puppies alike, our furry companions play an important role in our lives.
According to APPA's 2019-2020 National Pet Owners Survey, half of U.S. households own a dog and millennials own the most dogs among all generations. The Survey also revealed a top benefit of dog ownership is that dogs are like a family member. People love to spoil their dogs, and current trends show more owners than ever are creating social media accounts for their pups (and they often have better followings than their owners!) To celebrate this observance, the Association has rounded up some great products manufactured by APPA members that both owners and dogs can enjoy.
