Strome is the owner of golden retrievers. An account that the Stromes created dedicated to their family's dogs attracted a substantial following. The account was originally dedicated to the Stromes' first dog, Wrigley (named for Wrigley Field, a professional baseball stadium in Chicago). Wrigley (whom Strome had brought home as a puppy during the 2020 season All-Star Game break) became a celebrity canine among Blackhawks fans. Crediting Wrigley with helping him cope with stresses of his playing career and the COVID-19 pandemic, Strome would often mention him during interviews.{{cite web |last1=Pope |first1=Ben |title=How Dylan Strome's puppy helped him handle a whirlwind pandemic experience |url=https://chicago.suntimes.com/blackhawks/2020/6/24/21299732/blackhawks-dylan-strome-dog-golden-retriever-wrigley-mississauga-chicago-coronavirus-nhl |website=Chicago Sun-Times |access-date=January 7, 2025 |date=June 24, 2020}} The Instagram account dedicated to him had attracted more than 20,000 followers.
