National Mutt Day 2025: Celebrating Our Beloved Mixed-Breed Mates

As dog lovers (and proud dog owners ourselves here at EzyDog), we know every dog deserves love—no matter their breed. That’s exactly what National Mutt Day is all about: celebrating the charm, loyalty and unique spirit of mixed-breed dogs while encouraging adoption from shelters.

If you’ve got a rescue dog already, give them an extra cuddle today. If you’re considering adopting—2025 might just be the year you find your perfect furry mate!

When is National Mutt Day 2025?

National Mutt Day is celebrated twice every year—on 31 July and 2 December.
So mark your calendars:

  • 31 July 2025 – Winter snuggles for Aussie pups
  • 2 December 2025 – Summer fun and festive cheer

Both dates are perfect opportunities to share a little extra love with your mixed-breed best mate—or help a shelter dog find a forever home.

Why Celebrate National Mutt Day?

1. Mutts are wonderfully unique

No two mutts are the same. From quirky markings to playful personalities, every mixed-breed dog is truly one-of-a-kind.

2. They’re often healthier & hardy

Because of their diverse genetics, many mutts enjoy what’s called “hybrid vigour”—making them less prone to some hereditary issues common in purebreds.

3. Shelters are full of them

Sadly, most dogs waiting in shelters are mixed breeds. Choosing to adopt one could literally save a life—and free up space for another dog in need.

At EzyDog, we work closely with Aussie dog owners, trainers and rescue organisations, and we’ve seen how amazing these dogs can be with a little love, patience—and the right gear.

How to Celebrate National Mutt Day 2025

1. Adopt a Mutt – Change a Life

If you’ve been thinking about adopting, why wait? Visit your local RSPCA or rescue centre this year. Your future best mate might just be wagging their tail, waiting for you.

2. Volunteer or Donate

Can’t adopt right now? Donate toys, leads or even your time. Many shelters appreciate volunteers to help with walking, cleaning, or just giving dogs a bit of love.

3. Show Your Mutt Some Extra Love

Already have a mixed-breed buddy? Celebrate by:

  • Taking them for a long adventurous walk on the footpath or beach (Aussie mutts love the outdoors!)

  • Treating them to a new durable harness or fun toy (Our EzyDog dog harnesses and toys are designed for comfort and safety).

  • Sharing their photo on social media with #NationalMuttDay or #HappyMuttDay to inspire others to adopt.

4. Spread the Word

Chat with friends, post online, or even organise a mutt meet-up. The more people know about the joys of adopting mixed-breed dogs, the more tails will wag!

Why EzyDog Supports National Mutt Day

At EzyDog Australia, we believe every dog deserves the best start in life—no matter their breed. That’s why our gear is designed to keep dogs safe, comfortable and happy on every adventure, whether you’re walking a sprightly Jack Russell cross or a gentle Lab mix.

Many rescue dogs come with big hearts but sometimes nervous temperaments. A well-fitted harness or calming toy can make a world of difference during training, helping them settle into their new home faster.
