All the places you can celebrate your beloved pet for National Dog Day on Aug. 26
COLORADO, USA (KRDO)-- Saturday, August 26, marks National Dog Day and it’s a special day for pet owners to not only honor and celebrate their pets, but also a day where you can get in on some pretty sweet treats.
Scooter’s Coffee
As the dog days of summer come to close, Scooter’s Coffee is putting a spin on puppy-loved "Pup Cups" with a free, fall-inspired Pumpkin Spice Cup made entirely up of dog-friendly ingredients.
The sweet treat is complete with whipped cream, a pumpkin dog treat, and a dusting of cinnamon.
The first 15 canine customers at each Scooter’s Coffee store on National Dog Day will receive a bandana imprinted with the Scooter’s Coffee signature ‘Smiley’ logo at all participating locations while supplies last.
Scooter’s Coffee also is launching a search for the first-ever “Scooter’s Coffee Dogfluencer.”
Participants may enter their dog in the contest by completing all of the following actions:
- LIKE and FOLLOW Scooter’s Coffee on Facebook or FOLLOW Scooter’s Coffee on Instagram
- LIKE the Aug. 25 Facebook or Instagram post that announces the contest and TAG three friends in the comments
- VISIT a Scooter’s Coffee location during operating hours on Aug. 26 and take a photo of your dog enjoying a free Pumpkin Spice Pup Cup
- UPLOAD the photo to your Facebook or Instagram between Aug. 26, and Aug. 27, using the hashtag #ScootersPupCup and tagging Scooter’s Coffee in the post.
