Hungry Howie’s recently announced the launch of a limited-time National Pet Day menu that helps pet owners dine with their furry friends. As Hungry Howie's Vice President of Public Relations, Jennifer Jackson, explains, "Partnering with Happy Howie’s allows us to create a fun way for our guests to enjoy their favorite pizza while also treating their furry companions to something special.”
