All Dogs was founded in 2012, and released their first cassette in July 2013, as their half of a split cassette with Slouch, another Ohio band. On this cassette, All Dogs contributed 6 songs, 5 of which were originals and one of which was a cover. In 2015, the band released their debut album, Kicking Every Day, on Salinas Records. In the fall of 2016, the band performed their last show together before going on an extended hiatus. All Dogs' frontwoman, Maryn Jones, moved from Columbus to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania after Kicking Every Day was released. In 2018, Gabriela Claymore pointed out that "All Dogs’ fate remains uncertain now that its members are scattered between two cities, and Jones is no longer able to play in Saintseneca from out of state." In an interview with Claymore, Jones stated that "All Dogs stopped touring because of personal things." In June 2023, they reunited for their first show in seven years, opening for Wednesday in a performance at the Philadelphia music venue Union Transfer.

All Dogs' debut cassette was described by Pitchfork Media as "pierced with a strong sense of yearning." Liz Perry wrote in Stereogum that the six songs All Dogs included on the cassette "contain more perfect anxiousness and earnestness than some bands can get out in a whole album." Laura Snapes, writing for Pitchfork, gave Kicking Every Day a rating of 7.6 out of 10, and described it as "a warm thump of encouragement from an equally grubby hand." Sasha Geffen, of Consequence of Sound, gave the album a B− and said that it "roils with internal confusions and frustrations," and that it is "awfully charming for something that’s eating itself alive from the inside." On April 1, 2016, lead vocalist of punk rock band Green Day posted a short clip of All Dogs' live performance on Instagram with the description "ALL DOGS!!!! great band".
