Make Your Dog Your Valentine’s Date
For some, Valentine’s Day can be a dreadful holiday. This holiday can become overwhelming and lonely, from the expensive dinners to the sold-out flowers. Whether you have a valentine or not, one member of your life will love you unconditionally – your dog. Skip the regular dates and go on a date with your dog this Valentine’s Day.
Have A Picnic
A picnic is a dog’s dream with the allure of running and playing outside combined with the potential for yummy treats. Grab some dog-friendly snacks like apples, carrots, or pineapple for your and your furry friend to munch on. If you can picnic outside, take them to their favorite park and grab their favorite toy. If it is too cold where you live, try having a picnic indoors!
Dinner for Two
If you would rather spend a meal with your dog, try cooking a nice dinner. Make some dog-friendly meals or make them a special treat. If you don’t feel like cooking, try ordering in instead.
Dog-Friendly Restaurant
There are many dog-friendly places to eat in California if you would instead take your date outside the home. This holiday is the perfect time to try out some new restaurants you have wanted to try. Grabbing yourself and your fido a treat can be a great way to bond.
Grab A Treat
Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to hop on the sweets bandwagon. Several chain restaurants like Starbucks and Shake Shack have dog-friendly treats for your furry friend. Grab a sweet treat with your dog for a night in!
Take A Hike
If you live near a trail, taking your dog for a hike can be the perfect way to spend Valentine’s Day. Spending quality time with your puppy by hiking can benefit your relationship. It is a great way to burn off some steam before coming home for a cozy night in.
Go Shopping
Who said shopping was just for humans? Buy yourself and your cute dog some gifts for the special day. Have a little retail therapy with your dog by going to your nearest pet store and letting them pick out some of their favorite toys and treats.
Watch A Movie
If you’d rather spend the holiday in, try watching a movie or TV show with your fido. There are several pet-friendly movies and shows that are enjoyable for both our furry friends and us humans. Grab some popcorn or a pet-friendly movie treat and binge the night away!
Listen to Music
If you have a local concert or theatre you can attend with your dog, now is the time to do it. Dogs love music and are sure to be excited to try something new with their owner. If the weather doesn’t cooperate, have a concert at home. Play some music for dogs and dance the night away.
Whether you are spending Valentine’s Day alone or in companionship, including your dog during this holiday can strengthen your relationship. Your dog is sure to feel the love, and you will likely feel it too. Cuddle up with your furry friend on this day of love.
