Pampering your pooch is a brilliant way to build a strong bond between you two, and there are lots of changes you can make if you’re eager to let your dog live in the lap of luxury.
With that in mind, let’s go over a few of the options for overhauling your furry friend’s lifestyle and spoiling them morning, noon and night.
Choose a luxury dog bed
There are a multitude of products designed to upgrade your dog’s sleeping condition, and you can even consider how these fit in alongside the rest of your décor if you want to go the extra mile, aesthetically speaking.
From mattress-style dog beds that come courtesy of top brands like Casper and Purple, to dog beds that are built to resemble miniature versions of human couches, there is something for everyone.
You can even buy orthopedic memory foam dog beds that are brilliant for keeping older animals comfortable, even if their bodies are not as supple as they once were.
Don’t skimp on dog food
While dogs are definitely not fussy eaters, that doesn’t mean you need to settle for lower quality products when picking what to feed them.
In fact, just like humans, your dog will benefit from brands that use natural ingredients that are packed with nutrients. You’ll be able to tell the difference from the glossiness of their coat and the overall enthusiasm they get when dinner time rolls around.
There are various recommended brands out there, with the Mixers range from Instinct being especially interesting as it is recommended as an add-in for home-prepared meals that you make for your dog. And if you are into the GM-free lifestyle, then the Organix range could also align with your own food ethics, as well as being a delicious treat for your dog.
Organize trips with your dog in mind
The temptation to go on vacation while leaving your dog at a pet boarding service while you’re away may be great. But this doesn’t really gel with the whole ‘man’s best friend’ vibe that lots of owners are aiming for.
As such, why not take the four-legged member of your family along for the ride, and plan a luxury break on which they are an honored guest.
Your planning will have to involve looking for dog-friendly accommodation, and factor in outdoor activities that will let them get the exercise they need.
Splash out on regular grooming sessions
Doggie grooming services have exploded in popularity in recent years, and for good reason; it’s fun for the animals and good for the owners as well.
Getting a professional to do everything from trimming a dog’s nails to washing and cutting its fur will save you from the stress and effort of having to do this yourself at home. There are even full-blown spa-style facilities that provide pooches with a whole suite of treatments.
This might not be the most affordable option, but then affordability flies in the face of luxury in the first place, so it’s probably not a concern if you’ve read this far!
Spend quality time together
Dogs want nothing more than to spend as much time with their owners as possible, sharing experiences and having a blast together. You can show you really care, and give them the best quality of life, by ensuring that you schedule lots of one-on-one sessions.
Going for walks, letting your dog socialize with other members of its species, and working out together, is sensible, but really any time spent together will have a positive impact on your dog’s emotions.
