6 Ways to Celebrate Valentine’s Day with Your Furry “Pal”entine

Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to spoil your pet unapologetically, because they deserve just as much love and affection as they give us! If you’re searching for ways to shower your pet with love this year, look no further! Here are a few activities that will be sure to make your “Pal”entine’s February 14th extra special:

Take them on a drive to your favorite coffee shop
Did you know some places even offer options for our pups to savor, like Starbucks’ Puppuccino? Love will most definitely be in the air with a snack so sweet! Here are some great dog-friendly options if you want to try somewhere new.

Work on their skills with plenty of praise
Bond with your pup by teaching them a new trick! Charlee Bear’s Bearnola Bites are perfect for treating and training, plus they come in 4 mouthwatering flavors, including Cranberry Cobbler! These granola clusters are loaded with flavor and texture that dogs will adore.

Dedicate a half hour to feline fun
It’s easy to enjoy playtime with your kitty thanks to these lovable and purr-fect toys: Frisco Valentine Variety Pack Cat Toy, Whisker City Valentine’s Day Ball Cat Toys, Whisker City Valentine’s Day Print Mice Cat Toys. 

Bundle up and go for a walk
Make your pet’s heart happy on Valentine’s Day by taking them for a walk, or to a local park! Check out a list of Chicago Park District’s “Dog Friendly Areas”; and if the weather’s too cold, here are some indoor options, too.

Snuggle up for a calming afternoon
Help your furry friend feel serenity, balance and ease on Valentine’s Day with Treatibles Extra Strength Soft Chewables for dogs and cats. These heart-shaped chewables are an excellent source of omega 3 fatty acids, plus they support your pet’s immune system and enhance their joint function!

“Toast” your friendship
Take a moment to relish the paw-fect day spent with your pup and let them enjoy Happy Hour Crusherz – and don’t forget to pour yourself a drink too!

No matter how you decide to celebrate Valentine’s Day, let your furry friend in on the fun! After all, they love you more than anyone.
