Quick! Cupid just shot you with an arrow and you’re staring right at your dog! What do you do? It’s Valentine’s Day, so what else can you do? You'll fall in love with your dogs from their nose to their toes! And when you love your dogs that much, it's fun to go the extra mile for them.

Here are a few of our favorite ways to spoil our dogs this Valentines’ Day:

Give them the best bed: Figure out their sleeping style, then invest in their dream bed. Some dogs love to curl up in little balls while they sleep and would love a doughnut shaped bed. Others are big sprawlers and could use a long flat cushion (like the ones from West Paw). Other dogs like to prop their heads up on the arm of the couch, so a bed with a bumper on the side would be the prefect head rest. And then there are the burrowers. These guys like to sleep under the covers, so consider making a sleep sack out of an old fur coat or sleeping bag for them!

Rub their ears: Did you know that one of the easiest ways to help you dog feel calm and relaxed is to gently rub their ears? Full of nerve endings, their ears are sensitive spots that most dogs really like getting massaged. Here’s how: Gently hold your dog’s ear between your thumb and forefinger. Slowly, pull your fingers across their ear, from the base to the tip. Repeat until their whole ear has been massaged. You can find out more on sites like TTouch.

The once a year toys: Is your dog super tough on toys? Maybe you never buy them soft, plush toys anymore, since they only last a few minutes. Normally, it’s not worth the money, but once a year, it’s a special treat to bring home a soft toy and let your dog go bananas pulling out stuffing and tearing it to pieces. Happily cleaning up all the wayward fuzzy bits will be the second half of your gift to your best friend.
