New this year!
For 2025 International Dog Day stations will be using Hamlog Online.
Every station will upload every contact to Hamlog.Online
. Four awards will be available on the Hamlog site to anyone making contacts with IDD stations.
Calling stations can check that they are "in the log" and see when a particular SES is due to be active, then review how many more contacts they need to get any one of the 4 awards by going to Hamlog.Online/idd
Awards
The awards are
- Perky Puppy - the basic award for contacting at least one IDD station
- The Chaser Trilogy - contacts with any three IDD stations
- The International - contacting stations in every participating country
- The Full Kennel - contacting every participating Special Event Station for IDD 2025

More stations were on the air in 2024 than ever before, supporting International Dog Day. This
year there are even more, in more countries.
On this site we will be adding information information about this year's event -
26. August 2025 -
with stories and pictures of operators and their dogs.
There are stories from those who contacted Dog Day stations in 2024 and photos from them, too.
Of course, there are many ways anyone can help with the well-being of dogs everywhere.
