6 ways to celebrate Valentine's Day with your dog

Back to blog

1. Shopping & lunch date

More and more public places are becoming dog friendly, which is great news for pups which hate being left home alone! Retail giant, Wilkos, announced last week that they now welcome pets in all of their stores. It joins John Lewis, Waterstones, Oliver Bonas, Apple, Lush, Barbour and many, many more stores who are happy for well-behaved dogs to accompany their owners. After you’ve shopped ‘til you’ve dropped, pop into a dog-friendly restaurant, café or pub to refuel. Use this handy guide to find local places that welcome dogs.,

      2. Get pampered!

      We all love to look and feel great, especially for the ones we love. For some breeds, regular grooming is essential for coat and skin health, but all dogs can enjoy a nice pamper session this Valentine’s Day. Make sure whatever groomer you choose is suitably qualified for your breed of dog. Even a good brush, teeth clean and spritz of coat-refreshing spray at home will be a treat for your dog (and will make cuddles on the sofa a lot more enjoyable!).

      3. Stock up on Nutriment heart treats

      Nothing says ‘I Love You’ more than giving someone your heart… or a chicken / turkey heart. Nutriment’s high-quality raw chicken and turkey hearts are the perfect treat for the dog in your life. They’re packed full of essential nutrition and chewing treats such as chicken hearts provide huge enjoyment for pets, as well as causing a natural release of serotonin ' the 'feel good' chemical. What more could a pup want on Valentine’s Day?

      4. Plan a beautiful dog walk

      Apart from mealtimes, walk time is a dog’s favourite time of day. Stretching their legs, sniffing, exploring and marking are all great ways to exercise the mind and body, which provides a huge boost to animal happiness. It’s also great exercise for dog owners! Wrap up warm and plan an extra-special walk, perhaps their favourite spot or somewhere with a lovely view, for the ultimate Valentine’s Day treat for both you and your dog.,

      6. Cosy up with a film (featuring dogs of course)

      At the end of a busy day, there’s no better way to relax than to sit back and enjoy a film. Of course, seeing as this Valentine’s Day you’re celebrating with your wonderful pups, it’s only right that the film you choose has a canine star!
