Dogs are perhaps the most loyal animals in existence. If you love a dog and give it enough care and protection, they’ll love you back equally as much. This is why a dog makes such a great first pet for children because they can grow alongside each other as child and puppy. As they both grow older, they form an unbreakable bond that will last for a very long time.
So if you want to give your dog the best treatment you possibly can, then here are five simple ways to pamper your puppy or dog.
Feed Them Like Royalty
There’s no better way to say “I love you” to a pet than to feed them with the food available. Feed them the best canned wet dog food available and you’ll see their eyes light up and their faces turn into a cheeky smile as they finish chowing down on a bowl of the good stuff. Expensive canned dog food might cost a bit more than you think, but if you want to treat your pet like royalty then it’s an investment you’ll just have to swallow.

Unless your dog has already marked your bed as their territory, getting them a comfortable bed is a great way for them to snuggle up at night and get some good shut-eye. Keep in mind that if your breed of dog grows quite large, you’ll need to get a large bed to accommodate them. Dogs will love their favourite sleeping spots even when they outgrow the area itself, so unless you want your large dog to be sleeping in a small dog bed in the future, make sure you get something big.
The Best Toys
Give your dog something squishy and squeaky to play with and they’ll be entertained for hours. Better yet, why not play with them while they’re prancing around and leaping about? Playing with your dog will solidify the bond that you have, and there’s no better way to do it than to play with squeaky toys and chewable objects that your dog and carry in their mouth. You don’t have to spend too much on toys because dogs tend to wear out their favourite objects after some time, but do keep extras so you don’t have to run out to buy more every few weeks.

What dog doesn’t love to run around and enjoy the freedom of fresh air and grass beneath their paws? Taking your dog out to the park might seem like a trivial thing to you, but for your dog, it’s like heaven to be able to play, run around, and poop wherever they feel like it. Just make to clean up the mess afterwards and remember to take some balls and other toys so you can play with your dog.
Take a Swim
If you have a backyard pool then make sure you clean it on a regular basis because your dog is going to be diving in on a regular occasion. During the summer when the heat is blazing and your dog is sweating, they will love a dip in a cool swimming pool. If you don’t have a pool, then a little paddling pool in your backyard will suffice as well.
