It’s the global day of love: Valentine’s Day. For some, it is a joyous day to celebrate the love between two people. For others, it is a sad or a wistful day, spent wishing for what one once had or for what one has yet to find. For those with pets, Valentine’s Day offers the ideal opportunity to honour a love unlike any other: The love for a beloved pet.
Sharing Valentine’s Day with your pets can create a lasting memory or just provide the opportunity to spoil your best friends with what they love most in the world.
5 Ways To Spend Valentine’s Day With Your Pets
#1. Have Professional Photographs Taken Of Your Pets.
You probably have more pictures of your beloved pets than you can count, but that’s just how it should be anyway. Consider booking an appointment with a professional photographer to set up a Valentine’s photo shoot for your pet, complete with a Valentine theme backdrop. You can even get in the photographs to create a lifelong memento.
#2. Make Paw Print Ornaments.
Your pets are a precious part of your life. But, time with our pets is fleeting. Creating a paw print, in clay, will preserve a special part of your pet. You can generally find handprint making kits at craft stores. It’s a simple and fun process that will allow you bonding time with your pets.
If you fancy being a little bit more ‘crafty’ and making them yourself then you can read our handy guide on how to make paw print ornaments. (Note – these were Christmas decorations but you could easily make them into a regular ornament.)
#3. Give Your Pets Their Favourite Homemade Treats.
Holidays are the ideal time to spoil those we love with the things they love the most. It’s no different for your pets. Spoil them with their favourite treats – give your dog a new toy or your cat a comfortable new bed.
