Deliveroo Launches ‘Roo Foodie Dogs’ in Celebration of International Dog Day

14 August 2025 With International Dog Day landing on 26th August, Deliveroo is serving up something special for the UAE’s most deliciously named furry friends. Roo Foodie Dogs is a nationwide celebration of pups named after food because nothing says love like a dog named after your favourite food.

From 18th to 29th August, pet parents across the UAE are invited to show off their foodie-named furballs by uploading a photo, and their dog’s name to www.roofoodiedogs.com. The first 500 entries will receive AED 100 in Deliveroo credit, redeemable at pet stores on the app for everything from treats and toys to food and fancy shampoos. One lucky dog will fetch the grand prize: AED 1000 in Deliveroo credit to stock up on all the treats they can sniff out. The winner will be revealed in the first week of September on Deliveroo’s social channels.

Roo Foodie Dogs is part of Deliveroo’s mission to create meaningful, feel-good moments for the communities it serves. Call it hunger, humour, or pure love, but naming your pup after your go-to dish is now officially a thing.
