February 20th is Love Your Pet Day and what better time to let your best companion know that they are loved and appreciated.
No matter what pet you have: fish, dog, cat, guinea pig, rabbits, etc., this is the day to show them they are loved. Here are a few activities to make sure your pet feels loved.
Special treat breakfast
Take a trip to the groomer
Pets love being cleaned. If yours does not do well with strangers or does not normally like the groomers, you can clean them yourself. They will love the extra attention. Be sure to give the gift of a new collar, shirt or booties to keep their feet warm. They will take on a new personality. My dog turns into macho dog whenever he has a bandana around his neck and leaves the groomers.
Go on an outing
Some dogs live for car rides. Who doesn't like blowing their ears in the wind and sending slobber on the car behind you? Cats love car rides too. You can go to the park. Go to the pet store. Take them shopping, many stores allow pets. The options are endless.
Take your pet to work
Some businesses allow pets to come to work. You may never have done it, but today is the day to step out and take your loved one to work with you. Google is famous for letting pets come to work. Find out your company policies.
Buy a new toy
Dogs are just like kids and love getting new toys. This is the day to treat.
These are just a few suggestions. From extra petting to tummy rubbing, this is the day to make your pet feel special. So go ahead, curl up with your four-legged friend and celebrate the day named in his/her honor.

Top-level comments on this article: (1 total)Every time my Tika (LONG haired girl) hears me opening the drawer where the comb or scissors are she runs and hides. I want to to have her knot free but don't want her scared of me in the process. IF it ever gets warmer this winter I might get her a "lion" cut and then make sure she develops no new knots.... any creative ideas? This kitty is going on 5 and this is the first time she has developed knots - they are terrible.
