National Dog Biscuit Day

Feb 22, 2026 | Food Blog

National Dog Biscuit Day is celebrated each year on February 23rd and is a day dedicated to honoring our furry friends. This special day is a great opportunity to show your pup some extra love and pampering by giving them a special treat – a homemade biscuit! Dog biscuit recipes are easy to find and can be tailored to your pup’s dietary needs and preferences. Whether it’s a simple biscuit made with whole wheat flour and natural peanut butter, or a fancier biscuit made with organic ingredients, your pup will be sure to appreciate the thought and effort that went into their special treat.
In addition to giving your pup a tasty treat, National Dog Biscuit Day is also a great time to practice positive reinforcement with your pup. Positive reinforcement is an effective way to train your dog, as it rewards desired behaviors with something your pup enjoys, like a treat or a toy. By rewarding your pup with a biscuit each time they perform the desired behavior, they will be more likely to repeat it in the future. National Dog Biscuit Day is the perfect opportunity to start building a strong bond with your pup by offering them something special and showing them your appreciation.

Celebrating Seafood Bisque

Today’s Spotlight is on Seafood Bisque.
A bisque is a French style of soup that is made from crustaceans, such as lobster, crab, shrimp, and crayfish; their shells are used to make a stock and the meat is incorporated into the finished dish. So, in a way, calling the soup a "seafood bisque" is somewhat redundant.
