Here at DogFest HQ, we love spending February 14th with our one true loves… our dogs! If you’re the type of person who prefers the company of their four-legged best friends, you are not alone! If you are looking for some super fun and thoughtful ways to celebrate your bond with your furry soul mate this Valentine’s, read our guide below to help you plan the most paw-fect day.
♥9am: Morning Snuggle Sesh
First things first, it’s time for some morning cuddles in bed! Just like us, dog’s love to cuddle as it releases happy chemicals that make them feel good. Let your pup know it’s a special day, all about showing love, with an extra-long snuggle session.
♥10am: Dress To Impress In Matching Outfits
Let everyone know that you are OBSESSED with your dog with some super cute matching outfits! Pop a Valentine’s-themed bandana on your dog (like this Red Heart Beat bandana from Wiff Waff Designs) and find something in your wardrobe to match! You can even go the extra mile and make sure your pooch is smelling date-ready with the Number One Pooch Perfume Dog Fragrance!
♥11am: Spice Up Your Daily Walk
There is no better way to spend Valentine’s Day than bonding with your pup doing their favourite activity in the world… walkies! Use this day to explore a different route and take them on a new adventure, giving them plenty of time to sniff along the way. You could even meet up with their doggy best friends for a little play date!
♥1pm: Games Afternoon
If your bundle of joy still has bundles of energy after your walk, it’s time for some enrichment activities! Make your dog feel extra special by introducing them to a new game they haven’t played before that requires some mental stimulation. Try a game of hide, seek and treat to keep them entertained, whilst you clear space on your table and have a go at a puzzle of your own.
♥3pm: Give Your Pup A Gift
It’s time for some gift-giving! Why not treat them to tickets nation’s favourite dog-friendly festival, DogFest. Sometimes there’s no better way to show some love to your dog than with a new toy! These Funky Paw Candy Heart Plush Dog Toys will theme your playtime, and make for the perfect insta photo with the ‘I’d sniff ur butt 4eva’ heart!
♥6pm: Dinner & Some Bubbles!
It’s time to mark the special occasion and pop some bubbly! Treat your pup to some bottle service with Pawsecco, dog-friendly wine or beer , whilst you enjoy some bubbles. To make the day even more memorable, why not try a new date night snack like Sushi! Whilst you order takeout Maki Rolls, let your pooch taste some delicious Nibble and Nosh sushi-rolls!
♥8pm: Dog-Themed Movie Night
After this fun-filled (and probably VERY tiring) day, you and your pup will be ready to relax and unwind on the sofa & watch your favourite dog movie! Give your furry friend some extra cuddles whilst tucking into some yummy popcorn. Try some dog-friendly popcorn whilst you watch the classic puppy love romance, Lady & The Tramp!
