Valentines’s Day is right around the corner, and for many pet owners, it is a special day to give some extra love to your furry friend. If your Valentine’s Day date walks on all fours and loves to give slobbery kisses, we don’t hold that against you! Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to shower your pup with some extra love and appreciation. If you’re looking for fun ways to spend this special day with your dog, we wrote this blog to help. Below, we outline a few activities that you can do around Flagstaff that are sure to bring joy and excitement into your pup’s life!
Take Your Dog On A Picnic In A Park
Taking your dog to a picnic at the park provides several wonderful benefits for both you and your pup. It’s a date with a great opportunity for your canine companion to get plenty of exercise while enjoying some fresh air, sunshine, or possibly some fresh snow. If the weather cooperates, bring a ball, stick, or frisbee to get in some games of fetch, and pack some treats for both you and your dog to enjoy! Or, if it is on the colder side, bring some hot tea to sip on and plenty of layers to keep you warm while your pup is playing in the snow. Flagstaff is extremely dog friendly, and almost every park welcomes dogs as long as they are on-leash, but both Thorpe Park and Bushmaster Park offer off-leash dog parks!
Treat Yourselves To Sweet Treats
Treating your dog to a special Valentine’s Day treat is an incredibly fun and rewarding experience, both for your pup and for you. Whether at home or in a dog-friendly restaurant, the happy tail wags and excited expressions will be unforgettable! At home, you can give your pup something special, like their favorite treats or toys. You could also make them a homemade snack full of all the different things they love. If you’re looking for something extra special, take your pup out to dinner at a local dog-friendly restaurant. Flagstaff offers plenty of outdoor, dog-friendly options like Mother Road Brewing, The Toasted Owl Cafe, Satchmo’s, and More!
