Did Someone Say 'Treats?'

What dog doesn't love a treat? Fabulous treats are available to order online, from cakes and cookies to "doggy cigars" made of sausages. Or find some recipes and bake treats right in your kitchen. Your dog will most likely be right there with you, waiting.

Go For An Extra Walk

Surprise your pooch with an extra walk, or a trip to their favorite dog park or trail, especially if you haven't been there for a while. Walking is also a great way to get exercise and bond with your dog, which will only make your relationship stronger.

Read To Your Dog

Read any good dog books lately? Curl up together on the couch with a book or a great dog movie. Together time is precious, and often hard to find with our busy schedules. Your dog will love snuggling up for some warm, loving cuddles with you.

Neck Swag

Does your pup need a new coat to keep warm this winter, or a nice new collar or bandanna? Add a pretty charm to their collar, and while you're at it, check their tags to make sure they are still readable and reflect your current contact info. If you're not digging the jingling of your dog's current tags, try making a tag silencer to give your pup some quiet.

Keep Those Chompers Healthy

Healthy teeth and gums help keep your whole dog healthy. Consider a dental check-up with your vet, and have them show you how to brush your dog’s teeth. Be sure to get the special toothpaste made for dogs, as human toothpaste is toxic to pets. February is National Pet Dental Health Month, after all.

Spa Day

How about a day at the spa? Many options are available, like do-it-yourself facilities in pet stores, specialty salons, and even mobile grooming vans that come right to your house. Of course, you needn't do anything that fancy. A great doggy massage with some light grooming, brushing, and pampering will make your dog just as happy.

Clean Your Pup's Bedding

Many pet parents forget to check their dogs' beds when doing laundry. Dogs might need their bed washed before putting that new toy or treat on it, and they'll love it if the washing and drying fluffs it up a bit. It may take some time for them to get that "doggy smell" that they worked so hard on back into their beds.

Make A Donation

Leave a legacy by making a donation in your dog's name to an animal rescue group or shelter. Check around and find the organization that feels right to the two of you. It may even be the group that first introduced you to your furry best friend.
