Hearts day love
For last year’s Valentine’s Day, Americans spent $26 billion on treats for their sweethearts and another $2 billion on their pets. We think it’s time to throw a bone to our precious pooches and show some pet love this February 14th.
Hearts day is a perfect opportunity to have some special bonding time with your dog. While it may not quite be a romantic stroll, your pet is sure to love a long walk in the neighborhood. Or how about a cozy “date night” on the couch watching a good movie – extra points if it’s about a dog – and don’t forget your canine’s favorite snack treat!
Maybe your pooch would like a day at the pet spa for professional grooming and a massage. And for the sports enthusiasts, consider taking a long hike together or spending extra time at the dog park. You can also spread the love with a donation to a local shelter in honor of your pet and one of the best gifts is being mindful of your dog’s safety – make sure they can’t get their furry paws on candles, gift bags, flowers – particularly roses and lilies, and wine or alcoholic beverages.
Regardless of how you show your dog some Valentine’s love, you can be reasonably assured your present won’t be regifted. Arf-arf!
