How to Celebrate Valentine’s Day with Your Dog
Is your #1 Valentine furry, has four legs and gives sloppy kisses? Give your dog some extra attention on this special holiday by creating a memory you’ll always remember. Check out this list of fun Valentine’s Day activities to show your dog how much you appreciate their unconditional love.
Make Dog Treats
Engage in a little guilty pleasure! Spoil your dog with making something new and unique to what you usually give them. Try making dog bones and add some of their favorite flavors like bacon or pumpkin. Do they prefer something cold? Make a refreshing peanut butter and banana ice cream pop. You’ll feel good knowing you’re giving them safe, dog-friendly ingredients.
Take Them On An Adventure
Check out a new dog-friendly hiking trail you’ve heard about or go on a longer than normal walk at a local park. The change of scenery and smells will provide mental stimulation and a fun social outing. Plus, you’ll be giving them a good workout, which keeps them happy and healthy!
Go On A Shopping Spree
Retail therapy doesn’t only apply to humans! Take your dog to the local pet supply store and let him or her pick out some news toys that you can play with together. It’s important to rotate your pup’s toys so they don’t get bored. Let them roam the aisles and choose from the many options of chew toys, squeakers, balls and more.
Teach A New Trick
Quick and fun training sessions can bring excitement to your dog’s day. Not only do they get some tasty treats, but you’re giving them a great mental workout by engaging them in learning. Plus, these sessions give you the opportunity strengthen the bond between you and your pup.
