Thereās something magical about dogs ā their wagging tails, goofy grins, and unconditional love can brighten even the most stressful day. But being a dog parent also means keeping them entertained, stimulated, and, letās be honest⦠looking adorable.
Whether youāre heading out for a walk, playing fetch in the backyard, or just watching them nap in ridiculous positions, there are endless ways to make your time with your pup even more fun.
š¾ Playtime Isnāt Just for Fun ā Itās Brain Work
Dogs need mental stimulation just like we do. Toys that squeak, bounce, or challenge them to think (like lick mats or slow feeders) arenāt just cute ā they help reduce boredom and even prevent unwanted behavior.
A few ideas to make playtime more exciting:
-
Rotate their toys weekly so everything feels ānewā again
-
Use treat-dispensing toys or lick bowls during grooming
-
Give them a squeaky ādonutā just because itās funny to watch
š Walks Are More Than Just Exercise
Every walk is an adventure ā especially when your dog is properly geared up. Using tools like a collar holder for AirTags can help you keep track of your furry explorer during off-leash fun or busy outings.
Also, consider:
-
A funny bumper sticker or car decor to show your dog pride
-
A dog selfie stick (yes, it's a thing!) for the perfect pet+parent photo
š Grooming? Make It a Game!
Grooming and daily routines donāt have to be boring. Dogs actually enjoy brushing and brushing teeth ā when theyāre distracted or rewarded for it!
Try:
-
Lick mats for bath time or nail trims
-
A toothpaste topper in the shape of a dogās butt ā because why not?
