7 Ways to Spoil Your Pup This Year
This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx
If you have a special pup in your life, you probably love spoiling them as much as I love spoiling mine! With the short amount of time we have with our furry friends, it’s important to show them we love them as often as we can! Plus, they deserve it! Although, it is important that we are spoiling them in a healthy way that doesn’t lead to issues down the road. I’ve compiled a list of my top 7 favorite ways to spoil my pup, Dimples, and you can use them for your companion too! Keep reading for some great ways to spoil your pup!
HEALTHY TREATS
Treats are my favorite way to spoil Dimples, and I’m sure they’re his too! Typically, when I’m out looking for healthy dog treats, I will gravitate towards Fruitables because Dimples loves them! Fruitables are an amazing treat choice if you're looking to spoil your pup without increasing their calories dramatically. At only 8 calories per treat, your furry friend will be begging for more and you won’t feel guilty giving in every now and then! The two favorites in our house are the Biggies Almond Butter & Coconut and the PB n’ Joy Peanut Butter & Banana! Fruitables Biggies are 2X larger than their original baked treat with a big taste of real almond butter and coconut, and Fruitables are made all-natural with delicious peanut butter and bananas - your dog will love them!
FUN TOYS
If you’re anything like my family, you probably have an overflowing container of dog toys in the corner of the room. I am always coming home with new toys because Dimples loves playing with them, especially the Lambchop and Shaggy Loofa from Multipet! I love that these toys encourage him to exercise while at home or outside. Plus, they are so affordable, it doesn't hurt my wallet to spoil him! He’s a cuddler, so the Multipet Toys have become his best friends! You can find them here!
MENTAL STIMULATION
Our furry friends need both physical and mental stimulation to be happy. Even if you are taking your pup on walks everyday, they may not be mentally fulfilled! Our favorite way to tire Dimples out is with the iDig from iFetch. We use the iDig digging toy to feed Dimples his treats. This way, he is working for each piece! The mental stimulation that the iDig provides can alleviate boredom, lower aggression, lower stress, keep older pups mentally healthy, and decrease destructive behavior. Fun activities like this are sure to make your furry friend feel extra spoiled! You can grab yours here and use the code BABBLEFEB for 15% off an iDig digging toy, either the iDig Stay or the iDig Go!
EAR CARE
Having an itch you can’t scratch is the worst, so imagine how it must feel when you don’t even have hands! If your pup is having itchy ears, the best way to spoil them is with some relief using a dog ear cleaner! When Dimples start itching, we use the Vet’s Best Ear Relief Wash and their Dry Ear Cleaner Kit made with natural ingredients like chamomile, clove oil, tea tree oil, and aloe vera. Trust me, your pup will thank you for this!
HIP AND JOINT CARE
As Dimples gets older, there is always the chance of having hip and joint problems, so we want to be prepared. The Vet’s Best Hip & Joint Supplement is perfect for all pups over 1 year old and helps maintain normal healthy cartilage, connective tissue, and joint mobility! It also includes healthy antioxidants that remove damaging free radicals. Since Dimples eats them with no issues, we love spoiling him with them at mealtime! This way, we are combating dog arthritis pain early!
ORAL CARE
Over 80% of dogs have a dental problem, so it is essential that you spoil your dog to help them stay in that small 20%! There are a lot of oral care options out there, so if you find that you are struggling to brush your pups teeth, don’t give up! You can check out my favorite options from Oratene/ZYMOX. Dimples loves the Enzymatic Brushless Oral Care line, especially the Drinking Water Additive, Toothpaste Gel and Breath Freshening Spray! Mine is from! Use code Oratenepet to save 10% at www.zymox.com from 2/1 – 3/7.
DOGGOS DOING THINGS
Okay so maybe this last one is to spoil me a little bit, but I couldn't resist! The “Doggos Doing Things: The Hilarious World of Puppos, Borkers, and Other Good Bois” by the creators of @doggosdoingthings from Running Press is the funniest gift for your favorite dog mom or dog dad out there! This hilarious book pairs more that 150 adorable photos of pups of all shapes, sizes, and breeds with funny captions describing what they're up to–which is usually looking for snaccos or just bestowing love upon their hoomans!
Furry friends have a special place in our hearts, so spoiling them every now and then is fun! How do you like to spoil your pup? Let me know in the comments!
