February 20th is known as Love Your Pet Day and is specially reserved for ALL pets – whether they have fins, feathers or fur.
Because let’s just get real, our pets kept our social intelligence intact during lockdown and we need to repay them BIG TIME.
So be the awesome person your pet thinks you are and make the MOST of LOVE YOUR PET DAY this 2021.
❤ FOOD
Uhm yes please! Showing your love in the form of delectable DOG, CAT, SMALL PET or BIRD treats is really never a bad idea. Because as the famous saying goes, the way to the heart is through the …
My charismatic cat simply cannot get enough of those succulent SHEBA cans and I’ve heard those NANDI strips for dogs are all the rage.
Please just remember to STAY AWAY from human food like alcohol, bones, coffee, macadamia nuts, seeds (from fruit) and yeast dough when filling / stuffing dog toys.
❤ PLAY
And of course DO use FEBRUARY 20TH as a reason to book a playdate with your forever fabulous pet-children. Cuddles, tickles, jokes and what not are all great avenues to venture down.
Why not invest in some interactive DOG toys, if yours have seen better days or simply roll some socks around the living room floor.
Let your small pets set out on an adventure like no other with this SUSPENSION BRIDGE, because that’s how you treat your pet on LOVE YOUR PET DAY.
For birds, well, can you ever truly go wrong with that classic little MIRROR? I think not, because mirror mirror on the wall, your birdie wants to see it all.
And for cats, well … sacrificing your sanity for an afternoon of CRINKLE delight is an absolute must this February 20th.
❤ SOCIAL MEDIA
If you’re all about that click-click and like-like, then you HAVE TO snap-snap and share-share away. Let your pets pose in unique spots in and around the house; and make a day of it … or shall I say – make a LOVE YOUR PET DAY of it.
The month of love is after all about appreciating our loved ones, so having social media appreciate them too is just an overall stupendous idea.
❤ WALKS AND SPECIAL TRIPS
But love aside, February is also the last month of summer – TEARS! So enjoy a lekker day out and about.
If your pet isn’t a fan of putting those paws on strange soil, then a quick drive around the block is perhaps the way to go. OBVIOUSLY safety first, so pop them in size-appropriate carriers when hitting the road.
Want to live the action-packed lifestyle, but you prefer staying at home? No problemo! Get those hamster limbs moving with this gorgeous GLITTER ball, birds chirping with this phenomenal 7-STEP LADDER, cats purring with this FLOPPING FISH and dogs exited with this adventurous AGILITY KIT.
❤ PAMPER, SHAMPOO, WASH AND BRUSH
MOST pets go absolutely nuts over a massage session. So massage, groom and brush away.
SIDE NOTE – According to PetMD, pet massages increase blood flow and lymphatic circulation in pets, relieves stress, aids muscles and boosts their immune system too. Did your jaw just drop as well? I know, it’s amazing.
If your dogs absolutely detest water, then treat them by investing in a WATERLESS SHAMPOO or GROOMING WIPES.
Of course for those who LOVE the water – a bath is fantastic for bonding and cooling them off in the immense February heat, and that’s just a stupendous way to treat your pet I’d say.
Having CHINCHILLA bath sand available for your chinchilla-children will most defs secure your place as #1 in their heart as well.
Ok, sooooo in regards to brushing: If your dog is relatively easy to groom at home, then just go for it. IF NOT however – book them into your local and trusted grooming parlour for some pamper delight.
You can always try giving kitty a brush – but of course you know some will tolerate it and others won’t. Luckily with cats we always know where we stand. Make sure you have the right TOOLS though, because if your cat is long haired and doesn’t mind some bristle-action, then regular brushing should be part of your routine anyways.
And speaking of tools, don’t forget to invest in this MINI GROOMING SET for your small pets to benefit from.
Just because you can’t give your fish a bath, is no reason not to give their ponds a good clean with a premium POND TREATMENT of course.
❤ CONCLUSION
Being a pet-parent is about more than feeding them and popping them in the car for those annual trips to the vet. It’s about loving them and making them feel like the kings and queens that they truly are.
So treat your pet this February 20th and sommer make every day a LOVE YOUR PET DAY this 2021.
