As if you needed another reason to give your very good girl or boy a special treat, Saturday is National Dog Day, which means dog-centric deals and promotions from retailers nationwide.
National Dog Day was founded in 2004 by pet and family lifestyle expert Colleen Paige, according to Nationaldogday.com. Paige, a conservationist and author, has also founded other holidays such as National Puppy Day, National Mutt Day and National Cat Day.
Paige created the the holidays to "bring attention to the plight of animals around the globe and encourage adoption," the website says, estimating that millions of unwanted pets have been saved as a result.
National Dog Day is celebrated Aug. 26 every year because it is the date that Paige's family adopted her first dog, "Sheltie," from the local animal shelter when Paige was just 10 years old.
Here are some National Dog Day deals to help you celebrate your canine companion.

Pups can get in on the pumpkin spice trend with Busch Light's new limited edition Pumpkin Spice Busch Dog Brew ($15 for a 4-pack, shopbeergear.com).
The non-alcoholic, all-natural drink is made with pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger, turmeric and water to refresh your dog.
This isn't Busch Light's first dog brew. In the past the company has released a port bone broth-based product and a Busch Light Turkey Brew, made with turkey broth.
Dunkin' to support the Joy in Childhood Foundation Dogs for Joy program
Dunkin' will donate $1 for every iced latte ordered via the Dunkin' mobile app this Saturday to the Joy in Childhood Foundation to support the Dogs for Joy program, the company said.
The Dogs for Joy program is helping increase the number of dogs who work full-time in children's hospitals to bring joy to kids battling illness.
These dogs perform a range of tasks that help medical teams achieve their clinical goals, like keeping a child calm during a medical intervention or providing an incentive for a child to get out of bed and go for a walk, according to the program's website.

The new doggie doughnuts include the Pup'kin Spice Original Glazed, Pup'kin Spice Cake, Pup'kin Spice Maple Peanut and Pup'kin Spice Cheesecake Swirl.
The doggie doughnuts will be packaged in a special six-count box for purchase in-store or via the drive-thru, the company said.
