In celebration of National Dog Month this August, Smith Brothers Farms, a century-old Pacific Northwest home delivery service, is teaming up with Blue Dog Bakery to reward the loyal canine companions who greet their delivery drivers at the door. The partnership includes weekly prize giveaways throughout the month, offering dog lovers a chance to win a Blue Dog Bakery Prize Pack and a $50 Smith Brothers grocery delivery credit.
Peter Olson, Senior Marketing Manager at Smith Brothers, highlighted the tradition of treating dogs on delivery routes. "Leaving treats for our four-legged friends is a tradition we're proud to carry on all year long," Olson said. "Our Milkmen and Milkwomen keep complimentary dog treats on their trucks and love rewarding the pups who eagerly greet them at the door. It's a small thing that helps make delivery day a little more special."
Beyond the fun, the company is using this month to remind pet owners about warm-weather safety. The Humane Society offers several crucial tips: never leave pets in a parked car, even with windows cracked; protect sensitive paws by testing pavement with the back of your hand; ensure fresh water is always available; create cool spaces with shade and possibly a kiddie pool; watch for signs of overheating like heavy panting or lethargy; and take it easy outdoors, especially during wildfire season.
The giveaway is easy to enter: follow @smithbrotherspnw on Instagram for details. Each week in August, one lucky winner will receive a Blue Dog Bakery Prize Pack and a $50 Smith Brothers grocery delivery credit. Winners are selected randomly and announced every Friday.
Smith Brothers Farms, founded in 1920, is a family-owned, fourth-generation dairy and home delivery company headquartered in Kent, WA.

By combining a celebration of National Dog Month with practical safety advice, the company hopes to foster a safer and happier environment for pets and their families throughout the region.
