August 10 National Spoil Your Dog Day #SpoilYourDogDay. I don’t know about you if you have a dog but we have 3 dogs. I must tell you my dog Pheobie is a dog but to me she is more like a person and my best friend. Even though today is #SpoilYourDogDay I spoil my dog everyday. How about you. Do you spoil your dog everyday? If so what do you do to spoil your dog?
It might be a sickness but most people are stupid in love with there dogs! National Spoil Your Dog Day on August 10th, encourages us to buy that $25 “indestructible” toy that we’ve been swearing up and down we would never buy. Granted, dogs can be a little needy but during times when it seems nobody loves us our dogs always do.
Dogs are hilarious and our dogs don’t hold it against us when we make them wear silly hats and sunglasses. Dogs happily slurp any food we drop on the floor. Dogs only want a warm bed, belly rubs and walks in the park. Today, take the time to make dogs feel special.
National Spoil Your Dog Day Activities
- There isn’t a dog that doesn’t love treats is there? Dog owners know that too many treats can be a bad thing. On National Spoil Your Dog Day break the rules and spoil your dog with as many treats as you want. You can keep it healthy by adding in some natural treats like Carrots, Salmon skin, or Coconut Oil. Some human foods aren’t good for dogs, so be sure to consult your veterinarian before sharing from your plate.
- All dogs love walks, but that’s just one of the many activities you can do on National Spoil Your Dog Day. Instead of walking around the block, you could take your dog to the dog park to socialize with other dogs while you walk. Some parks host dog-related events, especially on dog holidays, or you can organize your own dog party to get together with your dog-spoiling friends. If that isn’t your scent then take your dog to a pet spa and let the spoiling really begin!
- In all honesty, dogs don’t really care what you do with them, as long as you’re spending time together. Nobody knows your dog like you do, so take a moment to consider the things your dog loves best. Like a great belly rub or you could snuggle up on the couch for a movie marathon if that’s what your pooch enjoys. Go down to the waterfront or fill up a backyard kiddie pool if your dog loves to splash around. Whatever your dog’s favorite together-time, you can deliver it with a little thought and some heartfelt appreciation for what your dog adds to your life.
Why We Love National Spoil Your Dog Day
- Here is a fact for you: The sad truth about dogs is dogs don’t live as long as humans. But somehow, dogs pack a lifetime of love and licks into little over a decade. Dogs love us without question, and they never complain about our busy schedules or the taste of their food. For all the love, companionship and straight-up adoration our dogs lavish upon us, don’t you think they deserve a day of getting spoiled in return?
- Whether you’ve got one Shih-tzu or a pack of lively mutts, there’s just something about their doggy faces that makes your heart go all warm and fuzzy. Maybe it’s all the love in their big brown eyes or maybe it’s that funny way their ears flop inside-out sometimes. Every dog is unique, but there’s always that little something that makes your dog special to you. Whatever the quirks that you love about your dog, we love that every dog has quirks to love.
- A lot of us don’t really need an excuse to spoil our dogs. But dog owners know that too much spoiling can lead to bad health or behavioral problems. For a lot of dog owners, it’s less about when to spoil their dogs and more about how to keep from spoiling them too much. National Spoil Your Dog Day is the perfect time to pamper our dogs and by concentrating a lot of our spoiling on a single day, we leave room for our dogs to enjoy a more balanced lifestyle, overall.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
