5 Ways to Appreciate Your Dog This Week

Consider Pet Health Insurance

Getting pet health insurance for your dog is the ultimate way to show that you love and care about them. Pet insurance will allow you to give your trusty companion the treatment they need in times of emergency. Unexpected vet visits and diagnostic exams can be very expensive, but with pet health insurance you can alleviate the financial stress and ensure that your dog will live a long and happy life.   

Spend Quality Time With Them

Similar to humans, dogs need and love the attention too. Spending quality time with your dog is very important and even strengthens the bond between you two. Try setting aside 2-3 hours a week for uninterrupted, quality time with your furry friend. For example, you can take your dog to the park for a fun game of fetch or go on a nice walk around your neighborhood. There are so many ways to spend quality time with your dog. Your dog doesn’t care what you both decide to do, all they care about is being in your presence.

Try Something New Together

There has to be a new thing that you and your dog can experience together. While learning a new skill or hobby, you and your dog can bond in new and exciting ways than ever before. In doing so, you both will strengthen your relationship and gain a new sense of appreciation for one another. Some examples of new things you and your dog can try together include hiking trails, camping, walking in a new area, going to the dog park, and more!

Buy Them a Treat

We all know that dogs love to eat, so a great way to surprise your dog is to bring them a special treat when arriving back home. Whether coming back from running errands or work, making a quick stop to pick up a dog bone or dog jerky would make your dog’s day. It’s the best feeling to watch your dog’s face light up at the sight of the new dog treats you just bought them. This will definitely make your dog feel appreciated and loved!

Volunteer at The Humane Society

To show your dog you care about them, you can help other dogs that might need it the most. Shelters are always looking for blankets and towels so donating can truly make a difference. By volunteering or donating to the animal shelter you are showing your appreciation for animals and the unconditional love they provide us.
