It’s Party Time! Celebrate Snoopy’s Birthday on August 10 at Dogtopia Daycares Across North America
As part of its partnership with Peanuts to commemorate the comic strip’s 70th anniversary, Dogtopia, one of the country’s largest and fastest-growing pet franchises, is throwing a nationwide birthday bash for Snoopy across its nearly 150 daycare centers on Monday, August 10. Leading up to the birthday bash, Dogtopia is hosting a Snoopy lookalike contest online starting July 15 until to August 9. Pet parents nationwide can submit photos of their furry friend for a chance to win a Peanuts prize pack at www.dogtopia.com/snoopybirthday.
Along with the opportunity to win the grand prize, all entries will receive a special savings code to Hallmark’s online store, valid from July 27 to August 10. The discount will be good for 20 percent off all Peanuts cards, gifts and gift wrap for orders at Hallmark.com and online orders picked up in the store.
“It’s been a pleasure working with the Peanuts team the last several months, and we are excited to bring even more fun to our daycare centers with the lookalike contest and birthday bash for Snoopy,” said Neil Gil, CEO of Dogtopia. “Snoopy embodies everything Dogtopia prides itself on – joy, playfulness, humor, and compassion – and the iconic canine’s birthday is the perfect occasion to celebrate our own furry friends and give back to our loyal pet parents.”
“Snoopy is a member of the Peanuts family just as much as his human counterparts, so it is only fitting that Dogtopia is throwing him this large-scale birthday celebration,” said Lindsay Martinez, Senior Vice President, North American Licensing and Partnerships, Peanuts Worldwide. “The love and care Dogtopia shows its pets and pet parents align perfectly with the core values of our brand and the relationship between Charlie Brown and Snoopy.”
