As we approach the dog days of summer, it's time to turn our attention to our dogs at home, as today is National Dog Day. It's the perfect time to pause and appreciate the joy and comfort dogs bring as well as the companionship they provide, even in the most isolated of times (cough cough, the past 17 months, or so).

According to the American Pet Products Association, dog ownership increased by nearly 11% in 2020, with roughly 108 million dogs in U.S. households — up from 97 million in 2018. Millions of people craved canine camaraderie and welcomed new dogs and puppies into their homes over the past year and a half. So that means there are a lot of new pet parents to celebrate National Dog Day today!
