Festive Hot Dog Promotions

A&W Canada Celebrates National Hot Dog Day with the Whistle Dog

— July 17, 2024 — Marketing
A&W is offering consumers a promotion to celebrate National Hot Dog Day with the Whistle Dog. As part of this promotion, consumers can purchase one Whistle Dog and get the second one for just $1. The Whistle Dog is a popular menu item with a hot dog, relish, real cheddar cheese, and bacon on a toasted bun.

Though the item was discontinued in 2017, it made a limited-time return in 2022 due to high demand and became a fan favorite once again.

A&W, Canada's original burger chain, is a 100% Canadian-owned business. Over 1,000 restaurants across the country offer its renowned Burger Family, which includes classics like the Teen Burger®, hand-battered onion rings, and A&W Root Beer®. For more details, please visit aw.ca.
