National Love Your Pet Day is February 20th!

National Love Your Pet Day is a great opportunity to spoil your pets and give them an extra dose of love. While most pet owners treat every day like National Love Your Pet Day, February 20th is a day to give them a little extra love.

 

Here are some ways to celebrate National Love Your Pet Day with your favorite furbaby:

New Toy

Surprise your pet with a new treat. Dogs and cats alike love new toys! Sugarboys has a huge selection of handmade dog toys and handmade cat toys.

Special Ride

I don’t know about you, but if my dog hears me say “let’s go for a ride”, he immediately drops what he is doing and runs to the door. There are not many things he loves more than sticking his head out the window and taking in the fresh air.

Luxury Pet Bed

Sugarboy’s Paca Pet Poufs come ready to ship in one standard size (18”x24”) but can be made to fit any fur baby. Alpaca is the ultimate luxury fiber, as it cools in the summer and warms in the winter, with lighter fibers than its counterparts.  

New Walking Route

If you walk your dog on the same route every day, consider taking them on a new route. According to new research, dog’s “possess up to 300 million olfactory receptors in their noses, compared to about six million” in humans. Taking your dog on a new route gives them a chance to put all those receptors to use and smell new and different scents.  Walking a cat can provide your pet with a more enriched life. "A lot of cats love to go outside and smell things, see things.”

Special Treat

Give your pet something extra special. Cats obviously love anything with catnip. This cat toy is filled with one heaping cup(!) of organic catnip AND comes with three tablespoons of catnip pellets to maintain freshness. How’s that for a special treat?! Dogs, on the other hand, may appreciate a Woolly Tug, which is great for “mouthy” dogs (e.g., Pointers, Spaniels and Setters) and like to suck on things.

 

Puppy Massage

If you really want to pamper your pooch, treat your dog to a puppy massage. Whether you do it yourself, or hire a canine masseuse, your dog will feel more relaxed than ever after a nice massage.

Kitty Cuddle Session

While your cat may not appreciate a massage, many cats do enjoy a quiet cuddle session.

New Outfit

Treat your dog or cat to a new outfit! Nothing beats a handmade sweater to keep your pet warm in the winter.

How do you plan to show your pet extra love on February 20th?
