How to make your dog feel loved

There is no doubt that dogs are the best companions one could have. They love you unconditionally, are loyal, and do not break your heart. It won’t be wrong to say that your pet dog is crazy about you. From tail wags to excited greetings and bedtime cuddles, your dog showers you with love and affection every day. Thus, he too expects your love, attention, and care in return. Here’s how you can make your dog feel loved.

Take a trip to the dog park :

If you are lucky enough to have a dog park nearby, head there with your dog on a nice day. He will love the chance to run off-leash, play with other dogs and enjoy time outside. And while your backyard might provide plenty of room, the dog park offers new sights and smells to stimulate your pet's senses.

Organize other special outings :

The dog park is not the only fun spot to take your dog. If your pet loves water, you can go for a swim at the nearest beach or lake. If your dog is more of the hiking type, you can strap on your backpack and go on a trek.

​Learn how to give your dog a massage :

Though it might sound a bit crazy, your dog can benefit from a relaxing massage. If you are interested in learning the best techniques, take a workshop with your dog, watch instructive online videos or refer to some books available on the topic.

​Get your dog the best bed :

Depending on your pet's preferences, you can repurpose a crib mattress, buy a nice pillow, find a comfortable chair or make your own dog bed. While some dogs love having soft pillows to sleep, others want nothing more than an old chair to curl upon.
