Being a single mom, it's no surprise that I don't have a lot of time to give Macy much needed attention. Even though I work from home, it's hard to make time for a pet! Over this last month, I've really been making an effort to spend more time with the people in my life, including this little fur baby! Keep reading for 5 ways to create a great relationship with your dog. 

SET ASIDE QUALITY TIME DAILY

It is really important to spend quality time with your pet every day! Whether it's five minutes or an hour, your pet needs that time to feel special and loved! I always try to set aside 30 minutes every day to give our pet quality time, whether it's going for a walk or taking her to the park!

MAINTAIN A STABLE ROUTINE

Maintaining a stable routine is not only important for kids, but it's also great for your pets! Feeding, walking, and spending quality time with your pet at the same time every day is important so they can maintain a stable routine and feel more comfortable in your home. 

TRIPS TO THE DOG PARK

Taking trips to the dog park is fun for the whole family! It's great for dogs to socialize with other dogs and people - and the dog park is the best place for that! Enjoy the warm weather and spend some quality time with your pet!

TREAT DISPENSING TOYS 

Do you find yourself leaving your dog home alone often? Since I'm always working or running errands around town, I love treat dispensing toys for Macy! It's the perfect present for your best friend... And what dog doesn't love toys and treats?!

GIVE HER ONLY THE BEST FOOD

What better way to show love to your dog then providing them with the best food? We have been loving Nature’s Recipe® for Macy.
