Who says pasta is just for people? This October 17th, we’re celebrating National Pasta Day with a twist — Animal Works style! Because while dogs can’t exactly twirl spaghetti like Lady and the Tramp (well, not gracefully), they can help us celebrate love, comfort, and community — everything pasta stands for.
🍝 Pasta: The Universal Comfort Food
There’s something magical about pasta — warm, cozy, endlessly customizable. It’s the food equivalent of a hug. And if anyone knows about comfort and unconditional love, it’s our furry friends. Whether you’re curling up with a bowl of mac and cheese or a rescued pup from Animal Works, you’re indulging in something pure, joyful, and full of heart. Pups: The Real Heart of the Feast
Our dogs remind us every day that happiness doesn’t have to be complicated. A good meal. A warm home. Someone to share it with. That’s all they need — and honestly, isn’t that all we need too?
So this National Pasta Day, let’s take a cue from our four-legged friends: live simply, love deeply, and lick the bowl clean (metaphorically… or not, we won’t judge).
How to Celebrate Pups & Pasta Day
Here’s how you can join the delicious fun:
- Cook up some “pup-safe pasta” — plain pasta (no sauce, no salt) mixed with unseasoned cooked chicken or veggies makes a fun treat for dogs in moderation.
- Host a “Pasta for Paws” dinner party. Invite friends, share your favorite recipes, and donate to a local shelter in honor of the pets who bring so much love to our lives.
- Share your “Pups & Pasta” moments! Post a photo of your dog next to your favorite pasta dish and tag #PupsAndPasta and @AnimalWorks to spread the joy.
Every Bite, Every Bark, Every Bit of Care
At Animal Works, we believe that good health — like a good bowl of pasta — is all about balance, comfort, and care.
From routine vaccines to emergency surgery, our team is dedicated to keeping your pets happy, healthy, and ready to share life’s little joys (like watching you drop a noodle or two).
So this October 17th, raise your fork — and give your pup an extra belly rub. Celebrate comfort, connection, and the healing power of love…and maybe a little linguine.
