Many pet owners get busy and do not have enough time to spend with their furry best friend. Between work and social commitments, it can be difficult for many adults to find extra time to spend with their pets. Too many dogs spend the majority of their lives sleeping; eating and being let outside just long enough to relieve themselves before coming back indoors.
Fur babies are social creature, so it is essential for pet owners to spend quality one-on-one time with their dogs.
Below are great ideas for activities that fur babies and their owners can do together.
1. Get some exercise
Just like humans, fur babies need to stay in shape too. They build up too much energy that needs to be released after staying inside, or in a crate all day. Even just a slower-paced walk around the neighborhood can be sufficient for them.
2. Go shopping
Many pet stores allow pets to come inside to go shopping with their owners, so shopping for new toys or treats with your furry friends can be a great way to bond.
3. Go for a car ride
Many fur babies love riding in the car and taking in all the new sights and smells. A car ride can accurate with a shopping trip to pet-friendly stores or only a road trip for the sake of a road trip.
4. Visit a park
Fur babies are social creatures and love to meet new people and pets. If your neighborhood has a dog park, bring your furry friend to meet new dog friends. You can play Frisbee with your dog, or let him, or she meets new dogs to play.
5. Let your dog be a dog
Your dog is still a dog, even if he does enjoy participating in human activities with you. Let your dog run around your fenced in yard, dig holes, roll in the mud, and bark at wild animals or other pets.
Dogs are excellent companions, but they require a lot of work. It is essential to spend lots of quality time with your furry friend for their emotional wellbeing. The extra work is well worth it – our dogs are your best friends!
