Did you know that September 8th is National Dog walker Appreciation Day? For the one who doesn’t know it, “National Dog Walker Appreciation Day” is an officially recognized observation founded by Wag! for the men and women who walk millions of miles each day, exercising and entertaining mankind’s furry, four-legged friends.
As you may know, walking your dog is not easy stuff, even if it feels like it is. Yes, it’s a fun moment for you and your pup, but sometimes we, as a pet owner, do not have enough time or just can’t walk our furry friend, so we usually use the service of a dog walker.
Most dogs need to be walked at least once a day to relieve themselves, get fresh air, and exercise, although very active dogs may require more frequent walks. The length and frequency of walks depend on a dog’s breed, age, fitness level, health, and temperament. If you use the services of a professional dog walker regularly or occasionally, don’t forget to congratulate them on their appreciation day!
“Picking up poop is just one part of a dog walker’s job — and it’s the easiest part of this business,” said Jason Meltzer, co-founder, and chief dog officer at Wag! “But everyone has a special story about the dog walker who rushed across town to let the dog out when its owner got stuck at work, or who watered the plants, fed the fish, and watched the house while the family was away on vacation. That’s why the pet lovers at wag understand that we should thank these brave men and women who always ensure that our four-legged friends always have a good time while walking them.
Founded in January 2015, Wag! is an on-demand app-based mobile service that allows dog owners to hire rigorously vetted and background-checked dog walkers for 30- and 60-minute walks.
Drop in a 20-minute home visit for pets who don’t need a walk but love having friends over.
Sitting; whether it’s just for the weekend or a few weeks, select your days, and you will find a pet lover for your furry buddy who will fit your schedule. You will receive pictures, and videos of your pet enjoying playtime, meals, and snuggles if requested.

Legal Issues and Controversy
Purina sued Blue Buffalo in 2014, regarding their advertisements about their ingredients. Blue Buffalo claimed to have no by-products, but Purina’s lab testing said otherwise. Blue Buffalo counter-sued with the same claim, with both lawsuits eventually settling.
Purina was sued in 2015 after a consumer’s dog had gotten sick from their food. This was due to the additive propylene glycol, which has little to no information on its impact on canine health. After a second lawsuit in 2017 for false advertising, the company has not had any lawsuits since.Pros
