Our dogs give us so much don’t they? Awareness days such as “Love Your Pet Day” (February 20th) are a great opportunity to reflect on this and show your dog how much you care. They don’t have to be grand gestures. Even the smallest things can show a dog how much he is adored by you and your family. Why not use some of the following ideas to show your dog you care, not only today but throughout the coming year.
Give your dog a delicious treat that not only tastes good but is good for him too. Why not bake your own treats using our favorite recipes? Or, if your dog has health or dental issues, talk to your veterinarian about the best treat options for your dog.
Brush your dog’s teeth to keep them healthier longer and to avoid the pain of tooth decay.
Make your daily walks more fun by doing something different. Take a different route, add in some ball play, or visit with other dog friends. Maybe do all three – your dog will be over the moon.
Add a comfortable layer in your car’s trunk so that your dog has a more pleasant ride. This is easily achieved with a Travall CargoMat providing protection for your trunk’s interior at the same time.
Make sure all vaccinations are up to date, flea and worming treatments are done regularly and that your dog’s had a recent health check.
Book a vacation that is pet friendly so your dog can join in the fun. More and more companies realize that time is precious and that many people want to spend the well-earned vacation time with those who are precious to them. For this reason many hotels and bed and breakfasts allow pets to stay. Why not see what vacation options would be suitable for you and your pup?
Spend time just hanging out with your dog. It’s one of the things he’ll love the most and is good for reducing your stress levels too.
