Ahhh, Valentine\u2019s Day. \u2018Tis the season for lovers everywhere to stroll hand in hand through the park, exchange gifts, and celebrate their relationship with the one they love. If your dog is the love of your life, you can certainly share the day with him. Even if you have a partner, three is definitely not a crowd when that third person has four legs and a wagging tail.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n What if you\u2019d like to find that special someone to share your life? Valentine\u2019s Day is the ideal time to look for them, and it\u2019s important that they too are a dog lover. These days, many relationships begin online, and subscribing to dog friendly dating sites such as www.doglover.biz \u00a0<\/span>means your new partner is likely to love your dog as much as you do.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n While your dog will always enjoy walking hand in leash with you, he\u2019ll also appreciate a little gift as a token of your affection, especially if it is liver flavoured.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n You may have to think a little outside the box. Fido isn\u2019t likely to appreciate the traditional Valentine\u2019s Day bunch of flowers. Their perfume will probably leave him cold, and if he nibbles on them, he may end up spending the day at the veterinary clinic. If eaten, many plants can give our dogs a sore belly, with vomiting and diarrhea.\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Sweets For The Sweet<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I love chocolate, and in my opinion, it\u2019s one of the five basic food groups! Anyone who gives me chocolate on Valentine\u2019s Day has a good chance of winning my heart. Although my dogs would be delighted to share my treats, chocolate <\/span>contains a chemical called theobromine, which can cause vomiting, diarrhea, seizures and <\/span>death in dogs. As little as <\/span>100g of milk chocolate will make a 7kg dog unwell. This gives me the perfect excuse to eat all my Valentine\u2019s chocolates myself.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If your dog does steal your chocolates, <\/span>contact your vet straight away, as early treatment will result in a happy outcome for both of you.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n You can still share something yummy with your dog. Consider giving him treats made with carob, which is quite safe for him. Alternatively, put on an apron and whip up some homemade dog biscuits.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Smelling Nice<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Another popular gift at this time of year is cologne. Although your dog probably prefers rolling in the fragrance of dead fish or old compost, this doesn\u2019t win him any friends when it comes to getting up close and personal. The solution \u2013 Fur Breeze<\/a>. <\/span>This all-natural dog fragrance doesn\u2019t just mask that doggy smell, it actually eliminates<\/span> <\/span>lingering odors from his coat and bedding<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Choose either citrus vanilla or rosemary peppermint fragrances, and you won\u2019t need to hold your nose when your dog wants a Valentine\u2019s Day hug.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n You also want to make sure that both you and your Valentine have fresh smelling breath. Nothing is worse than that road kill flavored slobber your pup so eagerly shares with you! Pick up a bottle of Dog Smog Remedy<\/a>\u2013 it\u2019s a breath freshener for dogs that also helps with the other end\u2013 gaseous emissions<\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Time, Toys and Tuxedos.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Perhaps you\u2019d prefer to choose a gift for your dog that lasts a bit longer. If your dog is active and enjoys a game, he\u2019ll love a gift of a new ball or toy. Make sure you buy a toy that lasts; it can be so disappointing when a gift breaks the first time he plays with it.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Any relationship is improved by spending quality time together. Giving your dog a massage or a thorough brushing is as much a gesture of affection as anything you can buy or make, and is a great option for when the budget is tight. Your dog will appreciate the extra attention, and you\u2019ll both feel warm and loving afterwards.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Have you seen the latest dog fashions you can buy for your dogs?\u00a0 <\/span>Booties, hoodies, and even formal wear \u2013 your dog will turn heads wherever he goes, and you\u2019ll be proud to be seen with such a well-dressed companion. <\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Valentine\u2019s Day is a great excuse to show those you love just how much they mean to you. Don\u2019t forget to include your four legged best friend in your celebrations. After all, their love is unconditional.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a0 Ahhh, Valentine\u2019s Day. \u2018Tis the season for lovers everywhere to stroll hand in hand through the park, exchange gifts, and celebrate their relationship with the one they love.
