Get excited for National Dog Biscuit Day on February 23rd! This special day was created in the 1950s to celebrate all of our furry friends and their favorite treats. Dog biscuits have been a popular way to show your pup some love since they were first introduced over 150 years ago. Not only are they tasty, but they can also be a great source of nutrition and help with dental hygiene.
