For National Dog Day, American fast food restaurant Del Taco shared all-natural dog treats with fans on Instagram and made a limited number of bags available on its webstore. The breakfast-themed 'Del Barko' dog treats from Orange County's Naked Dog Bistro were offered in Bacon, Cheese and Hash Brown flavors, helping to treat canine companions to fun treats.
Beyond helping to treat dogs on National Dog Day, the Del Barko biscuits helped Del Taco promote its new Breakfast Toasted Wrap. Additionally, to treat humans for a limited time around this special day to celebrate dogs, Del Taco is giving away this new menu item to those who use the "DOGDAY" code in the Del Taco app with a purchase.
