What are the ways to make your dog happy?
Dogs have feelings too ! Yes you heard me right. They feel sad, happy, sometimes overjoyed, stressed, depressed all of this comes as a package if you have a pet dog at home. Beauty of it is they show it in different ways and my dogs have different personalities from one to another. It’s like adopting a baby but just a furry four legged one.
Keeping your loved ones (i mean your pet) is easy if you know them very well. Here are some tips that have worked for me and i’ve had pet dogs since I was a kid. So these are all tried and tested.
⇒ Playtime: have a planned playtime (mine’s is most days afternoon) in the backyard. Once they are used to it it becomes one of their favorite parts of the day. They look forward to it and you can say it when they start showing you signs to take you out, the tail wagging, the whimpering until you open the door and carry one of the toys.
⇒ Plan a random road trip/ beach day / Hike : you need to know your dog a bit more to plan the ideal getaway. Some dogs don’t fancy the water so ideal for them is a nice walk/ hike in nature.
⇒ Weekly baths : My dogs love bath time and i tend to make it fun with the soap bubble blowing and singing and crazy dancing in water. Tip: My dogs love bathing outdoors in the garden whilst my friends have dogs who prefer indoor bathing (bath tub/ shower cubicle etc)
⇒ Belly Rubs ! Always a win apart from random treats ( I buy my treats from Pet barn an online Pet Shop In Sri Lanka)
⇒ Food ! We prepare our dog food at home however, there are many dog parents who run on tight schedules and therefore opt for pet food. As long as the Pet food you choose is healthy and is from a recognized brand it is not harmful to your pets. If you are seeking a good pet store to purchase dog Food Online in Sri Lanka try Pet barn. They have a range of pet food that will suit your dog.
⇒ Groom and puppy spa date for a change would be nice.
⇒ Keep your dog and his environment clean; the puppy bed, kennel, water bowl etc.
Finally give them scritchies ! a lot of them !
Doing little things make them happy too hence, don’t stress over it, take some time from your day to let your dog know that they matter and that you love them because for them you are everything.
