Today is National Dog Day - are you celebrating with your pet?

August 26, 2017 - what are your plans for making this a special day for your dog? Looking for things to do with your pet? Here are some ideas for making it the perfect celebration.

1. Get him a special treat

Dogs love treats. You can even let your dog pick out his own. Take Fido to the local pet store and see which treats he gravitates to. It's a good idea to try out different types of chew toys or chew foods for your dog. But don't let him touch all the food items in the shelves, once he had it in his mouth, you may have to buy it.

2. Make your own dog biscuit

Try out a new recipe for homemade dog treats. They are easy to make and you can be sure it has the best ingredients. You can make dog biscuits, dog ice cream, or even bake him a muffin. There are a lot of fun ways to make your own dog treats. See our previous blogs for some recipe ideas here.

3. Take him to the dog park or dog beach

Most dogs love to play with other dogs. Find a local dog park and let your Fido interact with some of his friends.   Be sure your dog is up to date on all his vaccinations before you take him to such a public place. Our dogs love off leash parks and beaches.

4. Go for a walk or hike

If off-leash parks are not his thing, take your dog for a long walk or a hike. The most wonderful thing for any dog is to be with his owner. So whether it is National Dog Day, or any other day, enjoy time with your loving pet!
