Smalls Sliders is celebrating National Dog Day on Aug. 26 by offering a free "Can's Best Friend" bandana to guests who bring their dogs to participating locations and spend $10 or more, according to a press release.

The bandanas, featuring the restaurant chain's signature Smorange color, will be distributed while supplies last.

"National Dog Day is one of our favorite days of the year because we built our Cans to feel like a neighborhood stop guests visit again and again, and their dogs are part of that routine," Michael Alberici, chief marketing officer at Smalls Sliders, said in the release. "Dogs are part of our guests' families, and we want to send them home with a little something extra. Every bandana we hand out is our way of saying thanks for making your Can a part of your routine, four paws and all."

The company encourages visitors to photograph their dogs wearing the bandana and post the images to social media using the hashtag #NationalDogDay and tagging @SmallsSliders.

Smalls Sliders operates out of modular restaurants dubbed Cans and serves cooked-to-order cheeseburger sliders, seasoned waffle fries and hand-spun milkshakes.
