September marks Responsible Dog Ownership Month, an annual observation of keeping dogs happy and healthy. In the U.S., dogs are the most popular pet, with about 69 million households owning at least one dog, according to Statista. The American Kennel Club reports that some of the most popular breeds include Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds and poodles.
Throughout the month of September, places like veterinary clinics, pet stores and dog-grooming businesses can use promotional products to connect with dog owners and educate them on responsibly caring for their furever friends. Animal shelters and rescue organizations can also use promotional items to increase awareness on issues like dog wellness and safety.
