How to Promote Self-Love with Your Dog

From listening to all of your secrets to keeping you company and giving endless cuddles, your dog is not only your best friend but a part of the family. Our four-legged friends have such a positive impact on our lives, so it’s important that we show them just how much we love them as much as we can. Self-care is extremely important, and unlike us, our dogs can’t just pop to the local spa or take a retreat for some downtime. Here are some great ways in which you can promote self-love with your dog, in a number of dog-friendly ways.

Maintain Skin & Coats

Taking good care of dogs’ skin and coats is extremely important. Just like humans, dogs’ skin and coats can become sore and sensitive, which can sometimes be hard to identify when they have so much fur. To avoid your dog getting irritable skin or an itchy coat, there are lots of dog-friendly supplements and tablets available from trusted retailers such as Petwell to help treat their skin and coats to ensure they’re comfortable and happy. If you feel like your dogs’ skin or coat is really bugging them, it may be worth heading to your vet to make sure everything is as it should be.

Go on an Adventure

Just like a trip to the spa, our dogs will benefit massively from a good adventure. We’re not talking a trip to the local park, this time you need to choose an exciting location to visit that’s going to be packed full of new smells for your dog to enjoy. Nothing beats a few hours enjoying the great outdoors and your dog will have the time of their lives. From trips to the beach to waterfall trails, there are so many amazing adventures out there, so now is the perfect time to do a little research and find the best dog-friendly spots to take your four-legged friend.

Pamper your Pooch

From clipped nails to a freshly trimmed coat, treating your pooch to a little pampering will make them feel fabulous and fresh. Whether you book in with your local pet groomer, or you have a go at cutting their coat yourself, you can give your dog a little TLC and make them feel amazing. You often find that in the warmer spring/summer months, having a trim can help dogs to become a little more energetic, with less hair making them too warm or becoming itchy.

New Toys and Treats

There’s nothing better than being treated to a brand-new toy that’s going to bring hours of entertainment, so giving your dog a new tennis ball or a teddy bear to play with will ensure they feel the love. Surprising your dog with a new toy will instantly make them happy and excited, as well as busting any boredom for the next few days. Similarly, you could look at baking your very own dog treats to spoil your dog with. Putting the time and effort into some home-baked dog treats will show your dog just how much you love them, whilst giving them something delicious to enjoy at the same time.
