Your four-pawed pal doesn’t need to perform award-winning tricks to deserve pampering on National Dog Day, which just happens to be Aug. 26. The canine celebration was founded in 2004 by pup trainer and animal adoption advocate (and serial holiday creator) Colleen Paige — and 19 years later, pet companies and retailers are taking full advantage of the marketing opportunity.

Petco is treating dog parents to 25 percent off select products through Aug. 26, and Chewy is treating shoppers to a $30 e-gift card on orders of $100 or more with the code BOOP.

So in honor of the four-pawed fête, we’re rounding up some of the best dog accessories for celebrating your favorite furry friends. There’s something for every breed of dog owner, from designer dog beds and collars for chic chiennes, to cool gear for outdoorsy mutts, to essentials for the pandemic pets with separation anxiety.

Ahead, check out our favorite dog gear to shop on National Dog Day and beyond, including items that are on sale for the furball holiday.
