About Dogsday
Cards for people who think their dog is the best dog
Because they are. And a generic dog in a party hat was never going to do them justice.
Our story
Why we started Dogsday
If you've ever looked for a card for a dog lover, you'll know the problem. A cartoon dog that could be any breed, a pun about being "pawsome", and a feeling that nobody who made it had ever met a real dog.
Dogsday exists to fix that. Every card we make is designed for one breed: the right ears, the right coat, the right look of mischief. The words play on the things that breed actually does, the bin raiding, the sofa stealing, the dramatic sighing, so the card makes you laugh because it's true.
And because no two dogs are the same, you can now design a card of your own dog too. Tell us about them, and we'll paint them on a card.
"If the same card would work for any other breed, it isn't a Dogsday card."
The one rule every design must pass
What we care about
Made properly
Breed accuracy
Owners notice everything. We get the markings, the build and the expression right, because that's what makes it their dog.
Words that land
Short and British, from warm and heartfelt to properly rude. Never a lazy pun.
