Happy Valentines Day for Your Dog: 9 Ideas

Dogs give you cuddles when you need them and gaze longingly at you from the other side of the room. They're cute, they're funny, they're smart, they're a major hit with your family, and they will be your best friend through thick and thin. 

Your doggo is truly the ultimate Valentine!

February 14th is fast approaching, and now is the perfect time to start thinking about how you will shower your dog with the love they deserve. After a long year of comforting one another through lonely periods of quarantine, when you've been separated from your human friends for weeks at a time, you and your dog deserve to celebrate all you've been through and a Valentines Day dog date is the perfect way to do it. 

Here are our top 9 ways to show your pup just how much they mean to you. Happy Valentine's Day, dog lovers!

Tips for Valentine's Day Dog Care

The most important part of celebrating this loved-up holiday with your number one canine is to make sure you and your fido are safe. Here are a few things to consider as you make plans to shower your pooch with love.

Size is Important

If you're picking out a spangly new collar or jacket for your wee love, remember that their comfort is the most important thing. Choose a size that fits snugly around your dog's body or neck. If the garment is too tight your pet will feel restrained, and if it fits too loosely it may hang off them or cause them to trip. Refer to our sizing guides to find the perfect fit!

When selecting toys and treats, ensure that they match the size of your dog's mouth and chew strength, rather than the dog's physical size. If your tyke likes to overeat, it may be a good idea to separate treats into portions. 

Dogs Love to Receive Healthy, Safe Treats

Safety is one of the most critical aspects to consider when offering your dog treats. Avoid any edibles that contain: 

• Xylitol (artificial sweetener)
• Chocolate
• Lilies

These products can make your dog unwell and are some of the leading reasons dogs end up in the veterinary clinic on Valentine's Day. Fortunately, all of the delectable food products below are handmade in small batches from preservative-free human-grade organic and natural ingredients that are safe for dogs to eat. 

All meat and egg ingredients are free-range and free from antibiotics and hormones. The treats contain no chemicals, salt, sugar, or artificial flavors and colors. Just the best quality ingredients for a fun and festive feast!

Supervision is Key

Make your celebration more enjoyable with your pup by supervising them with new toys! Try to be frugal with decorations such as wrapping, ribbons, and balloons to make sure your chum doesn't inadvertently/recklessly chomp them up in delight!

Now we've covered the basics to ensure you and your canine companion are set for an amazing celebration of your special bond. Let's dive in and see all the wonderful ways you can show your special doggie just how much you love them.

A crunchy texture will satisfy your pup's chew cravings, and the treats are soft enough for large and small dogs to happily munch on.

The box comes with a soft red velvet lining and a brightly colored bow! There's even a gift tag for you to write a love poem to your pooch to show them the special place in your heart that they hold!
