If you've got a dog at home and are unsure what to do beyond giving them an extra treat, continue reading. Below, we've gathered some of the best activities to try with your pup.
Grab Coffee
We all know shops like Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts have the "pup cup," a miniature size cup of whipped cream. Of course, you don't want to give it to them every time because of its high sugar content. If it's been a while since they've had one, National Love Your Pet Day is the perfect time to treat them to the pup cup they've been missing. Here's to having full tummies and hearts.

Visit a Farmer's Market
Are you lucky enough to live somewhere warm in February, like California? Take advantage of these beautiful temperatures by heading to your local farmer's market. Many of these outdoor shops are dog-friendly. You can get their walk time in while exploring a new area and crossing items off your grocery list.

Take Them on a Shopping Spree
Even dogs like to receive gifts. On National Love Your Pet Day, you can get them a new version of the toy they love. Or, you could splurge on a more luxurious treat for them to have. Struggling to decide what to get them? Skip the big-box stores and go to a more pet-friendly shop—then, you can let them sniff the aisles to find what they're most attracted to.
Find a Pet Spa
Some people's dogs may be afraid to go to the pet spa, but others love to be pampered! Anyone who has a furry friend that fits in the latter category—Love Your Pet Day is prime time to get the bath and haircut they love. Some more luxurious groomers may also offer massages for your pets.
Give Them Extra Cuddles and Love!
Say you're on a budget. Booking an expensive grooming appointment or spending a bunch of money on new toys might not be the most financially responsible thing to do right now. You can still remind your pet how much you appreciate them with extra snuggles and cuddles.
