National Dog Day Gift Guide

National Dog Day (August 26) is a small, low-key occasion compared to the big gifting holidays — which is exactly why it's a good excuse to do something for your dog that a normal Tuesday wouldn't call for.

What's a good way to mark National Dog Day?

A custom figurine capturing your dog's current look — coat pattern, favorite collar, a specific pose — turns the day into a lasting keepsake. It beats an extra treat or a toy that gets chewed up within weeks.

Does this work for a dog that's already had a memorial piece made?

Yes — National Dog Day is also a natural moment to add a second figurine for a new dog in the family. It's a good time to mark how a current dog has grown or changed since an earlier order.

What if I want to order for multiple dogs?

Multiple dogs can be sculpted together in one scene, similar to how our Family Sets combine multiple people. A multi-dog household can be captured in a single piece this way.

How far in advance should I order for August 26?

Allow about 2–3 weeks total: a 3D design preview within 24 working hours, 3 working days of production once you approve the design, and 7–12 business days of international tracked shipping.

What photos work best for a National Dog Day figurine?

Clear, well-lit photos showing your dog's current coat pattern and markings work best — see our full Photo Guidelines — The Blueprint for Your Masterpiece before you submit.
