Valentines Gifts For Dogs

Valentines Day Gifts for Dogs














If ever there was a day created for man’s best friend it was Valentines Day. Think how a
Valentines Day gift for your dog is a special way to recognize the unconditional love and devotion given to you by the pet of your dreams. We all know that when the people in our lives let us down our dogs are their to make us feel welcome and to make the day right. For this reason alone, and because Valentines Day is a celebration of love, a Valentines Day gift for the dog or dogs in our life is a perfect idea.

Now if you have a special lover that you need to be paying attention to during Valentines Day make sure you do not give too much attention to yourcaninefriend. A quick moment of thought and a trip to the vet orpetstorefor some special gifts is a great way to show appreciation for your dog’s loyalty.

Of course your dog will not know that it is Valentines Day per se but dogs are very open to receiving gifts and returning affection when a gift is given. Valentines Day simply provides you with an opportunity to take a moment and think about your dog and how important he or she may be in your life or in the life of your family. Some dogs are literally life savers and taking a moment to acknowledge them and share some Valentines Day Doggie Gifts and affection is perfcetly healthy and acceptable.

Valentines Day Dog Treat Gifts
A special dog treat is a great gift for Valentines Day to show affection to your canine family member. Many stores sell gifts in special colors and shapes which make for a super photo opportunity before the gift gets gobbled up by the excited doggie. Another excellent idea and one that can be shared by several members of the family on Valentines Day is to bake your own treats for your Valentines Day Dog. Remember there are certain ingredients that dogs should never eat so check out a few reputable web sites before you just start mixing together last weeks left overs.

A Day at the Doggie Spa
Why not go over the top this year and treat your dog to a day at the doggie spa. Some dogs like nothing more than a nice wash and a hair cut combined with a pedicure on all four paws. If your dog has not been groomed in a while this Valentines Day gift of a day at the doggie spa would be perfect for your pampered pet. If your dog is a bit more of the disposition to run around, jump in a muddy lake and chase some decoys out of the freezing water then make Valentines Day your day to treat you and your dog to a special gift of some time outside.

5 Lasting Valentine Gifts for Your Dog


Posted by Clare Bristow

labrador-with-roses

Are you buying your dog a gift for Valentine's day?

I ask the question because celebrating Valentine's Day with your dog is becoming as big a marketing event as it already is for us celebrating the day with our partners!

There are now hundreds of dog valentine gifts you can buy ranging from dog tags, dog beds and dog toys, clothes with heart motifs on them through to special dog biscuits and gift baskets. The majority of these products won't last more than a few days, they're really just produced for Valentine's day.

So for a gift that'll last a bit longer, here's my list of 5 lasting Valentine gifts:

Commission a Pet Portrait

ArtPawArt Paw produce portraits from a photo you supply of your dog.

You can choose to have the portrait done in one of the following styles: Fine Art Style, Warhol styled Pop Art, Master Paw Print Style where your dog is inserted into a famous painting such as the Mona Lisa, or a Soft and Pretty Look where the photo is color enhanced or reproduced in black and white or given a vintage look.

Prices range from $135 to $260 dollars.

Create a Pawprint Pendant

For $194 or $204 Pawprints Jewelry will do this for you in .999 pure silver.

They send you a pawprint impression kit so you can get a mould of your your dog's pawprint, then they transfer that onto a pendant - either by impression or relief.

Make a Donation to the Morris Animal Foundation …

The aim of the campaign is to find a cure for canine cancer in the next 10 to 20 years.

Cancer is becoming increasingly common as the cause of death for many dogs, and much of the research into canine cancer presently undertaken is being done in conjunction with doctors researching the causes and treatments for human cancers.

Commission a Felt Miniature of your Dog

felted-dogKay'sK9s produces replicas of your dog using a technique called needle felting - Kay does such amazing work, and what a wonderful way to immortalize your dog.

At $120 these really do look like value for money, and judging by the testimonials on Kay's site, her customers are very happy with the results: "Oh my god – he is SO cute!!!! The markings are perfect!! His little face is great — you got his expression wonderfully captured. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!"

Spend Some Extra Time With Your Dog

heart-shaped-leashThis gift is free, and is the one that's of most value to your dog.

Spending an extra half an hour playing, practising your training or going for an interactive walk will strengthen the bond between you and your dog.

Our dogs give us so much and ask for so little in return that an extra bit of attention from us would make really make their Valentine's day something special!

How do you plan on spending Valentine's Day with your dog?
