- Because of the schedule conflict with "Beverly Golden Dogs", the film was originally scheduled to be released in the United States in August 2008, but was finally adjusted to November.
- The protagonist in "Lightning Dog" is based on a North American Shepherd Dog.
- The film is Disney's third animated cartoon released in digital 3-D format.
- The film is the directorial debut of Chris Williams and Byrne Howard.
- When "Beverly Golden Dog" was screened in the theater, there was not only a regular movie trailer, but also a 6-minute "Lightning Dog" trailer. The owners of the theaters were more angry about this, because the 6-minute duration violated the agreement of the additional advertising duration. Eventually, this matter was appealed to the MPAA, and Disney said that it would no longer show the 6-minute version of the trailer. But this incident itself produced a better publicity effect. Many people went online to find the 6-minute version of the trailer for "Lightning Dog".
