It features five subplots involving groups of people who are connected by their dogs. Walter (Creator/RonCephasJones), an old widower, is heartbroken when his pug Mabel runs away. Teenage pizza boy Tyler (Creator/FinnWolfhard), who was partially responsible for Mabel's disappearance, helps Walter look for her. Walter returns the favor by becoming Tyler's tutor. After a disastrous but highly-rated interview between newscaster Liz (Creator/NinaDobrev) and ex-NFL football player Jimmy (Creator/ToneBell), the network hires Jimmy as Liz's new co-host; although Liz is upset about this at first, she and Jimmy soon learn to get along, especially since Liz's dog Sam and Jimmy's dog Brandy instantly make friends. Barista Tara (Creator/VanessaHudgens) finds an abandoned dog and is delighted to have an excuse to talk to hot veterinarian Dr. Mike (Creator/MichaelCassidy). Dr. Mike places the dog in the New Tricks shelter, whose owner Garrett (Jon Bass) names her Gertrude. Tara volunteers to work at the shelter. When Ruth (Jessica St. Clair) has twins, she and her husband Greg (Thomas Lennon) dump their dog Charlie on Ruth's irresponsible musician brother Dax (Creator/AdamPally).

They struggle to connect with her, but things look up when the family takes in a pug Amelia found wandering the streets, not knowing the pug actually belongs to Walter.

!!''Dog Days'' contains examples of:
* BedroomAdulteryScene: When Liz comes home, Sam trots up to her carrying a red bra that's not hers. Confused, she walks towards the bedroom, where she hears her boyfriend Peter (Creator/RyanHansen) with another woman. She kicks him out.
* HospitalHottie: Dr. Mike, if animal hospitals count. The waiting room is full of women eager for a glimpse of him.
* SoundtrackDissonance: In-universe example. Greg is supposed to put together a playlist for Ruth's baby shower, but he doesn't pay attention and accidentally includes background music from ''Film/SchindlersList'', which, as Ruth says later, puts everyone in a weird headspace.
