Celebrate Love Your Pet Day!

Feb 20th is Love Your Pet Day! We know you show your pet you love them daily, but why not make this Sunday extra special for them? They will appreciate it, and you'll probably feel even happier before starting your Monday! Here's a few suggestions we've put together for Love Your Pet Day:

1. Take a walk, take a hike or just let Fido run free at one of Austin's off-leash dog parks. It should still be great outdoors on Sunday, even with a little cloud coverage. Make sure to pack some treats, water & doggie poop bags!

2. Read a book to your pet. If you have any reading you need to catch up on, now's a great time! And if not, pick up the Austin Chronicle and read some articles aloud. With the right tone & expressions, your pet will be very content to be curled up next to you while you engage in "conversation."

3. Go buy your pooch a KONG toy! These are great interactive toys where treats are stored inside for their delight! You can find them at most dog boutiques like metrodog at The Domain or Lofty Dog in the 2nd Street District.

4. Take them out to dinner at one of Austin's very dog friendly restaurants. Have a delish burger at Freddie's Place, or just relax at Jo's. Both have great outdoor patios where you can enjoy your pooch's company!

5. Consider giving your pup a message! It helps them relax and assists circulation. Learn how to give your dog a massage on PetPlace.com.

Don't forget all other pets - if you have a hamster, let it out a little longer than usual. Kitty Cat? Get them a cute toy with some catnip! Remember, it's Love Your PET Day, so love on all your furry & feathery friends!

You don't have to let your house go to the dogs!

We all love a good party, why not throw a shindig for your pups? We understand hosting (and entertaining) a party at your house can be completely overwhelming, so picture this:

Art-deco walls filled with your favorite pet products
Pup cakes that makes the most domesticated diva drool
Hearing the musical notes of their paws & your cute heels on the hard wood floors
Windows from ceiling to floor that bring in the nighttime glow
The cute little pug in the corner getting her nails painted pink
Doggie bags filled with swag that'll make their tails wag
And all your favorite Humans & Canines schmoozing (or boozing!) the night away!!
