Dog Day 2025 Presented by Veterinary Emergency Group

Dog parents of DFW — mark your calendars, because Dog Day 2025 is BACK and bigger than ever! 🐶🎈

Hosted by The Barkday Planner and presented by Veterinary Emergency Group (VEG), this celebration is more than just a dog event — it’s a party with a purpose honoring National Dog Day, the bond we share with our dogs, and giving back to the community we love.
