Your pet deserves to be spoiled by their owner every now and then. Let them feel how happy you are that they are there with little surprises. You don't have to pull out all the stops. Paying a little extra attention doesn't have to be a lot of effort. We have a few tips for you!
Your dog or cat is your best friend and Animal Day is not the only day on which you can put your pet in the spotlight. Your dog, cat, rabbit, guinea pig or other pet is always there for you and is sweet, caring, funny and naughty. Every now and then you can give your pet something extra. But how do you do that in a fun and varied way?
1) Something tasty
Surprise your dog, cat, rabbit or other pet with a delicious cake made from his or her favorite food. Actually, anything you put in the cake is good, as long as it is not the standard food that you give every day. Of course, make sure that your recipe is suitable for your pet. If it is a large cake, it may be wise to give it in different parts, so that your pet does not get sick from eating too much at once.
2) Walking
Do you have a dog? Then you probably know how happy these animals are with a nice walk. This way they can get rid of all their energy in the space they have outside. You can also go to a field or park where other dogs are also walked. Then they can also play with other dogs. Moreover, a breath of fresh air is not only good for the dog but also for you. Win-win! Do you have a cat, but do you live in a place where you would rather not let him or her outside? Then you can still take them for a walk. Pet shops also sell leashes especially for cats. Fresh air is also very important and healthy for cats.
3) Give them some extra attention
Many pets are real companion animals which means that they also enjoy your company. Maybe you are not home often because of work or other obligations. This can make them feel lonely sometimes. By giving them some extra attention when you are home, they feel that you are there for them too. For example, take some extra time to play or cuddle with them. Do you have a pet that loves to be brushed? Then that is the way to spoil your pet.
4) Gifts
Your pet will also be happy with presents! Pets are always happy with new toys. A new ball for the dog, a new wheel for the guinea pig or a new scratching post for the cat: your pet will be super happy with it.
