Whether you have a valentine or not this year your dog is always there for you. No matter what you and your dog decide to do, you’ll both have the best time—because you’re spending the day with each other.
Take a long Walk
Surprise your dog with an extra walk. Dogs love to go out on walks and what better way to enjoy the day. Plan a trip to Bidwell Park or a hike on your favorite trail.
Walking is also a great way to get exercise and bond with your dog, which will only make your relationship stronger.
Surprise Your Dog With A New Toy
What is your dog’s favorite type of toy? Sherlock loves toys he can chew on so he’s getting an elk antler. Get them a new toy, make a big deal out of it and then play with them.
Donate to your favorite shelter or rescue.
I like to donate to Butte Humane Society where I have adopted all of my dogs every year. Make a monetary or supplies donation. Even a bag of treats will be appreciated and make the day of the dogs waiting to get adopted.
Make/Buy Your Dog A Treat
I really like to make treats from Dr. Karen Beckers free download “Homemade Treats for Healthy Pets.” Sherlock loves several of the recipes listed.
Watch a Movie Together
Snuggles and popcorn without any flavor (if you are sharing with your dog) are a great way to enjoy each other’s company. I love to watch Sweet Home Alabama and How to Lose A Guy In 10 Days.
Hide and Seek
You can have your dog lay down and stay then go hide a treat, toy or yourself and have them find it. This is a great way to spend time together when it is too rainy to go outside.
Get them a Rescue Box
Your dog will enjoy monthly treats, chews, and toys. You will be happy knowing you’re helping animals in shelters through your purchase.
