MAKE DOG TREATS

Engage in a little guilty pleasure! Spoil your dog with making something new and unique to what you usually give them. Try making dog bones and add some of their favorite flavors like bacon or pumpkin. Do they prefer something cold? Make a refreshing peanut butter and banana ice cream pop. You’ll feel good knowing you’re giving them safe, dog-friendly ingredients.

TAKE THEM ON AN ADVENTURE

Check out a new dog-friendly hiking trail you’ve heard about or go on a longer than normal walk at a local park. The change of scenery and smells will provide mental stimulation and a fun social outing. Plus, you’ll be giving them a good workout, which keeps them happy and healthy!

GO ON A SHOPPING SPREE

Retail therapy doesn’t only apply to humans! Take your dog to the local pet supply store and let him or her pick out some news toys that you can play with together. It’s important to rotate your pup’s toys so they don’t get bored. Let them roam the aisles and choose from the many options of chew toys, squeakers, balls and more.

TEACH A NEW TRICK

Quick and fun training sessions can bring excitement to your dog’s day. Not only do they get some tasty treats, but you’re giving them a great mental workout by engaging them in learning. Plus, these sessions give you the opportunity strengthen the bond between you and your pup.

SPLURGE ON A SPA DAY

Even dogs enjoy some pampering! A bath not only gets them fresh and clean, but it treats them to a little relaxation.

They’ll walk out feeling refreshed and rejuvenated and feeling like a million bones.
