STAMFORD, Conn., August 05, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The American Pet Products Association (APPA) is excited to announce they're celebrating shelter dogs all month long. DOGust, observed on August 1, is the universal birthday for shelter dogs. APPA doesn't think one day is enough and that shelter dogs deserve a much bigger celebration.

DOGust encourages owners who don't know their pet's birthday to still have a special day to celebrate with them. Below is a round up of products that will help pet owners celebrate with their shelter dog all month, and beyond.
Suit up with this festive It's My Birthday Collar by C4 Belts. A collar with all the features including antimicrobial and odor proof, water-resistant, machine washable and 100 percent recyclable. Plus, owners can pick a belt to match their best friend too!
