Whether we buy expensive treats or whisk them away on the ultimate pet-friendly accommodation on a weekend getaway, spending money on our furry friends can be a joy. While they might be happy with a pat on the head and their favourite destroyed toy, having a remarkable day centred around your pawed pal can be fun.
Unsure how to give your pet the special time they deserve? Take a look at a few activities to add to your itinerary to curate a terrific tale/tail they won’t forget.
Curate a doggy picnic and head to the park
A picnic in a park is a great way to laze in the sun and enjoy nature, so what could be better than adding your perfect pup to the mix? You can fill your picnic bag with lots of treats (human and pet) to relax and snack the day away.
While you can opt to purchase your pet treats at a store, you can also add a personalised touch by making homemade nibbles for your dog to show your appreciation for their loving presence in your life.
Be sure to research and choose a pet-friendly park to enjoy the afternoon without worrying if you’re allowed to be on the premises. If you’re hoping your pet will socialise and make friends on your outing, you can make a few extra treats for your dog’s new pals.
Order a mobile pet grooming service
If you’re looking for a hassle-free way to spoil your pet, you can order a mobile pet grooming service to come to your home to pamper your pooch. From hair trims to styling, your pet will be sure to look and feel like royalty.
Are you looking for a mobile pet groomer that takes on more than dog clients? Just Groomit offers services for cats, guinea pigs, and rabbits, so your entire home zoo can join in on the pampering fun.
Enjoy a pup cup
While it might be a popular pet-friendly drink from Starbucks, many restaurants have jumped on the trend and have frothy beverages your dog can enjoy. Café Societi in Gardens, Western Cape, offers a steamed milk option for pets with a doggy biscuit.
If you’re looking to chow down with your pet for lunch, Dizzy’s in Camps Bay has a Beef Poochalicious Patty is on the menu and will make your pup slobber.
