On Valentine’s Day, dedicated dog parents want to show their furry companions some extra love with a full day of pampering and playtime. Check out these ideas for celebrating your best friend on February 14th!
Visit a Doggy Bakery
Gourmet dog biscuits, cupcakes, and cakes made with safe ingredients are a popular menu item at lots of bakeries. Let your pup pick out their favorites!
Take a Walk Together
A leisurely stroll outside together is a great bonding experience, or you can amp it up with fetch in the park. Bring a Chuckit! ball launcher for easy throws all day.
Run a Warm Bath
Let your dog soak in a cozy bath made with a mild oatmeal dog shampoo — they’ll feel fresh and smell lovely.
Make a Heart-Shaped Bed
If you’re crafty, create a large heart-shaped dog bed or pillow using soft fabrics. Place it in your dog’s favorite napping spot so they can lounge in luxurious style.
Give a Dog Massage
Relieve your dog’s muscle tension with a full-body massage. They’ll appreciate the affection and attention, especially when you use a quality dog massage brush to hit all the right spots.
Make Dog-Friendly Treats
Whip up some peanut butter and banana cupcakes or pumpkin and carob chip cookies. Decorate them with heart-shaped frosting and sprinkles, and your pup will go crazy for these sweet bites! Try this dog treat recipe book for inspiration.
Visit the Pet Supply Store
Take your pup to their favorite store and bring home a new toy or treat — or combine both with an interactive treat puzzle!
Set a Pup Play Date
While your dog romps with a few friends in the yard, the pet parents can bake a peanut butter dog cake.
Schedule a DIY Spa
Pamper your pooch with a facial using special doggy wipes, and leave their footies feeling paw-some with a top-dog paw balm. Finish with a relaxing brush session and they’ll nap until dinner!
Go on a Long Hike
Explore nature on a scenic trail — dogs love a long hike! Bring a collapsible dog bowl and a water bottle to keep your hound hydrated.
Have a Photoshoot
You can capture adorable photos of your dog with Valentine’s Day props, then frame your favorites. Find inspiration for capturing the heart and soul of your pup with a book of breathtaking dog photography.
Relax with a Dog Movie
Snuggle on the couch and watch a dog-themed movie with your pal. From animation to live action, countless films have been scripted around our love of dogs — all you have to do is pick one, prepare the popcorn and pup-safe snacks, and start the show.
