Take them on an extra long walk
If there’s one thing that dogs love more than anything else in the world, it’s walks. Exercise is essential for your pet, especially if you want them to be both happy and healthy. Today, why not take your pup on an extra long walk? Make sure that you plan out the route ahead of time. Nothing could be better than spending quality time with your dog.

Give them some cuddles on the sofa
Oh, and the doggy love does not have to stop there! While you’re unwinding with a book or watching your favorite Netflix series, make some room for your pet. Call your puppy up onto the sofa with you and give them all the love and attention they deserve. You honestly won’t regret it.

Let them eat the leftovers
Now, we all know that overfeeding your pup is a bad move. But, since this is a very special day, you can afford to give them a little extra. When you’re done with dinner, go ahead and give them the leftovers. They will relish this special treat! Yummy.
-
Buy them some doggie treats
But wait, what if there aren’t any leftovers? Well, why not buy them some tasty treats instead? There are loads of brands out there and you probably know which your dog likes the best. Stop off at the store on the way home and grab them something tasty.

Get them a brand new toy
If your pup has been extra good recently, you will want to show them how much you care. Getting them a new toy is the best way forward. If your puppy is still young, buy them a fun chew-toy so that you can help them with the teething process.
-
Give them a much-needed bath
Is your pet looking a little dirty? Well, never fear! There’s just one thing that you need to do. Run a warm-ish bath for your puppy and give them a wash. They might not like it at first, but they will adore the feeling of being clean and cozy afterward.
-
Buy them some tasty meat
If you want to give your dog a treat they will never forget, try this one! Head to the local butchers and grab a cheap cut of meat. (They usually have off-cuts and the like that are ideal for feeding family pets!) Cook it up at home and serve it to your pooch. Pure luxury.

Talk to your puppy
You may not realize it but dogs happen to love it when you chat to them. Many dog owners don’t bother to chit-chat with their pet, but you really should! Take the time to say encouraging, loving things to your dog. It will make them oh-so-happy.
-
Play in the yard with them
If you don’t have time to take your dog for a full-blown walk, you should still give them a little exercise. Play a game of catch in the yard with them. They will love the extra attention you give them and you will definitely have a whole load of fun too.
-
Just love them more than ever!
Finally, this day is all about love and affection. Just show your dog some extra attention today! After all, that’s what really counts. Our puppies are the cutest and sweetest things in our lives. Let’s take today to celebrate how very much they mean to us. You know it makes sense!
