If you have an adorable little furry friend in your home who waits by the door every evening for you to come back, you will probably agree with the fact that these creatures bring so much joy and laughter to our lives.
They are so full of life, love, high energy levels, and enthusiasm that makes us want to live our lives to the fullest, doesn’t it?
It’s so important to celebrate everything that our pets do for us and the amount of joy that they bring to our lives. And, what better time to do that than now!
May is officially known as the National Pet Month, a time that is primarily dedicated to celebrating and appreciating our little furry friends for never judging us, for giving us those hearty cuddles, for providing us with that warmth that we find so comforting, and so much more!
If you feel the same way about your pet, you might want to celebrate National Pet Month and make your pet feel super special and important. In case you aren’t sure how to go about it, we have rounded up some of the most fun and exciting ways to make the most of this day together with your furry pet.
A Day at the Beach
Most dogs are total beach lovers and get so excited when taken to the beach. If your dog is the same, the best thing you can to celebrate National Pet Month with it is by taking it to the beach on a fine Sunday morning.
Beaches offer a great degree of freedom to dogs where they can simply run around on the soft, sun-kissed sand, play and splash in the water and even go swimming. These are major reasons why so many dogs love going to the beach!
At the end of the fun-filled day at the seaside, though, prepare yourself to be smothered by lots of salts kisses from your furry friend, which is their way of saying thank you and appreciating your efforts for them.
Do a Photoshoot
Ever made your pet wear a cute dress or even some hair accessories just to go gaga over how adorable and cute they look?
Perhaps, this time around, you can take some pictures with your pet all dressed up and have a fun photoshoot! While it can be quite a challenge to take photos with cats and dogs who absolutely can’t stay still, you can simply reward your pet with a treat every time they let you take a fun picture of them as they sit still and smile for the camera!
Just make sure to prioritize their comfort and convenience first by using pet-specific and pet-friendly clothing materials only.
Another thing you can do is let your furry friend run the photoshoot by following them around with your camera and taking adorable pictures of them in their natural element.
Play Fun Games
Both cats and dogs are quite fond of fun games where they get to run around and just have a ball. The best kinds of games are those which give your pet the freedom to move around, fetch things, run after things or chew things.
So, another thing you can do to celebrate National Pet Month is to dedicate an entire day to playing fun games with your pet such as run ad fetch, chase the prey, feather and string, Frisbee, chasing bubbles, tug of war, and so many others.
Your furry friend will absolutely love you for this and might just shower you with another round of kisses to show their appreciation.
Make Their Favorite Foods and Treats
There’s perhaps no better way to show your love for someone than cooking their favorite comfort food for them. The same applies to pet animals. Show your pets how much they mean to you this National Pet Month by cooking their favorite treats at home.
The best options for cats include freezes-fried salmon treats, chicken flavor dental treats, tuna bites, and turkey hearts freeze-dried treats. For dogs, you can prepare beef liver freeze-dried raw treats, peas and sweet potato treats, sweet potato chews, and crunch biscuits.
Spoil Them with a Memory Foam Bed
There’s no cuter sight than watching your dog snuggle up in bed, stretch its little paws, give a big yawn and sleep away peacefully. So, how about you make your pet’s nights even more comfortable and relaxing by spoiling it with a memory foam bed?
Dogs are so big on soft squishy beds, and your pet will absolutely love you for making its nights better with a memory foam bed.
More than that, memory foam beds are so good for muscles and joints, and they greatly help promote good health and high energy levels overall.
Gift Your Pet New Toys
Cats, dogs, and many other pets are very particular about their toys, so this National Pet Month, gift new and fun toys to your furry friend and watch them go crazy over it!
Dogs are generally fond of interactive toys such as the classic Kong, dog bone, twisters, teething rings, chew toys, plush squeaker, and many others. Cats, on the other hand, love playing with feather wands, catnip toys, roller cat toys, inclined scratchers, crinkle balls, ball and feathers, and activity play mats.
Toys are also an excellent way to keep your pet busy for hours, especially when you have some important work to do, so why not get them a lot of interactive toys!
