Ah Saint Valentine, the most romantic day of the year. If you are singlebut you have a cane, do not despair! Your dog loves you all year round, so what better time to repay the favor and let him know how special he is to you than the February 14th?
While there are no laws in place that state that you must buy your dog a Valentine’s Day gift, buying a gift for your pup will let him know that you really care about him!
What should I get my dog for Valentine’s Day?
Well, you can’t give your dog chocolates and a bouquet of roses, but there are many wonderful gifts that suit him and this wonderful day:
- A brand new collar, red of course;
- A heart-shaped chew toy;
- “Chocolate” chips made especially for dogs;
- A Valentine’s Day inspired dog bandana;
- A little Pawsecco, the sparkling wine for dogs;
- Much love! Fido will be happy to know that you really love him.
10 ways to spend the best Valentine’s Day with your dog
You can’t go to a restaurant to have a candlelit dinner with your dog on February 14, but here are 10 ways to spend Valentine’s Day with your dog.
1. A special meal
If the way to your pup’s heart is through his stomach, then why not make his day better by making a delicious dinner that your pooch will love?
Try to cook something that is perfectly healthy and safe for your pup, like chicken or beef, and top it with his usual kibble. He also prepares a plate for you to eat at the same time. Candlelight and romantic music are optional.
2. A home cinema
What could be better than dimming the light, grabbing the popcorn and snuggle up with your puppy under a blanket to watch movies where dogs star?Io e Marley, Hachiko, Bolt. The list is long….
3. A walk in the park
It may be cold, but your dog will be happy to go to the dog park for some outdoor fun and spend quality time with you. Grab a ball and get ready to indulge in your dog’s favorite pastime, a long game of fetch!
4. A photo shoot
We’ve all seen those photo shoots that couples do when announcing their engagement. Why not try a tongue-in-cheek version with your dog? Valentine’s Day is the perfect day to show the world that you and your pup are you are made for each other. The sweeter the better!
5. Teach your dog a new command
You may not realize it, but dogs absolutely love to learn new commands. Whether it’s because he’s spending time with you, getting extra treats, or getting a healthy dose of mental stimulation, your dog will love learning something new.
Grab some treats and check out our video tutorials.
6. Volunteer together
After a bad day, there’s nothing better than coming home to your loving pooch to make you smile again. If you want to share the love this Valentine’s Day, try volunteering locally with your dog.
You and your pup might bring smiles to those in need this Valentine’s Day!
7. Serenade your puppy
There is no one in the world who appreciates you the way your dog does. Why not serenade Fido with a selection of dog songs.
8. Donate to a shelter
Does your pup already have way more toys than he can realistically use? Shelters always need blankets, bad weather clothing, food, or toys, so consider donate to those who need it most.
9. A beauty treatment
You can leave the heavy-duty trims to professional groomers, but if you fancy giving your pup a treat, why not treat him or her to a manicure and pedicure?
10. Have an aperitif together
If you don’t feel like going out and looking for pet-friendly bars, you can recreate the atmosphere of a bar right at home: prepare yourself a glass of wine or a cup of hot chocolate and prepare your dog a glass of beer for dogs or wine for dogs (they really exist!!!), then sit down on the floor surrounded by cushions and… cheers!
And that’s it! Here are the perfect ways to spend February 14th when your significant other has fur! Happy Saint Valentine’s.
