When Are the Dogs Days of Summer? The official âdog daysâ of summer begin on July 3 and end on August 11. So how did this time frame earn its canine nickname? It turns out the phrase has nothing to do with the poor pooches who are forever seeking shade in the July heat, and everything to do with the nighttime sky.
This means that the dog days of ancient Greece arenât the dog days of today. What it also means is that several millennia from now, this astrological event wonât even occur during the summer. âIn 26,000 years, the dog days would completely move all around the sky,â said Schaefer. Ah yes, the dog days of winter.
