To our feline and other furry pet owners, we ask for your patience and understanding, for this blog was written

for our luxury lifestyle followers who adore canines as much as Beau Satchelle. Admittedly, a cat or two have successfully weaved themselves into our care, not surprisingly, by deciding to self-adopt into our lives or friends convincing us to become cat sitters. That being said, dogs of all types and sizes have constantly been a part of our lives since childhood.

The inspiration for this blog appeared after reading an article about the upcoming annual National Spoil Your

Dog Day on August 10th giving pup parents a day to indulgently celebrate loyal four-legged friends. Now in case this one day just isn’t enough time, there are nearly a hundred U.S. observances tied to a particular

month or a day to fawn over pet dogs in some form or fashion. A few on the list include:

1. Obviously celebrating your pooch’s birthday, or the anniversary of joining your family, or gift-giving holidays such as Christmas.

2. National Pet Day (April 11)

3. Adopt A Shelter Pet Day (April 30)

4. May is National Pet Month

5. National Purebred Dog Day (May 1)

6. Take Your Dog to Work Day (June 25)

7. Snoopy’s Birthday (August 10)

8. National Dog Day (August 26)

9. Adopt a Dog Month (October)

10. Adopt a Senior Pet Month (November)

3 Tips from Vets and Trainers on Spoiling Their Own Dogs

From the article’s list, we added luxury suggestions for your puppy to consider.

Tip One: Create a Divine Personal Space

Create a designated space to establish boundaries and safe zones to keep your dog calm. Consider placing a

luxurious dog bed, pillow, or sofa bed (leather perhaps) in each major area of the house where your pet is allowed.

A dog can spend up to 80% a day sleeping so carefully consider what will make the dog most comfortable.

When selecting a dog bed not just the age and weight come into play but your dog’s sleeping style, if they are a chewer, house training, etc.

A few of the top dog beds vets recommend from small to large dogs are:

Casper memory foam dog bed is given kudos for its durability and ease to clean·
Big Barker bolster dog bed heavy duty for large dogs with joint issues
Orvis memory foam deep dish dog bed for large and giant breeds who need the room to stretch out and have the ability to rest their head on the headrest.
K9 Ballistics durable chew-resistant cot style raised dog bed designed for airflow to keep dogs who prefer cooler sleeping.
The Purple Pet Bed claims honors as the best odor resistant dog bed made from anti-microbial moisture resistant odor neutralizing covers that you can toss in the washing machine

Tip Two: Grooming, Dog Wellness, and Retreats

Trainers suggest regular home preventive brushing can help to slow tarter build-up, controlling shedding by at least wiping your dog down with a damp paper towel daily, and don’t forget your dog’s daily at-home massage.

Nevertheless, treating Fido to professionals and dog destinations who are trained in indulging your canine in every way possible. Spas and boarding hotels offer the latest in:

– rejuvenating massages

– aromatherapy bubble baths

– PAWdicures

– hair dyes for graying dogs (or divas)

– facials

– hot wax treatments

– ultrasonic teeth cleaning

– mud baths

– personalized swimming lessons

– therapy and physical training for dogs

with physical ailments (ie arthritis)

– therapy for behavioral and stress.

Certainly, you have your favorite local destination to take your pooch for a lavish day, night, or longer of pure pampering and serenity. How about splurging at one of the top-rated and referred dog boarding, beauty, and wellness spas in the U.S.?

Tip 3: Doggy’s Routine and Home Alone Entertainment

Maintain a doggy routine consistent within a dog’s schedule including physical activities feeding times and bedtime. If your schedule won’t allow scheduled walking times consider hiring a professional dog walker.

One of our smartest dogs “Oreo”, unfortunately had to be home alone in our first apartment until someone came home for work. She spent her days ingeniously finding ways to open up cabinet doors to pull out things she could play with, especially the garbage can. Needless to say, we had to be more creative in keeping her entertained to prevent paying apartment repair fees due to her boredom.

Blessed dog inventors and disruptors have come up with some innovative ways to entertain pups:

· Satisfy their scavenger by creating treat hunts scattered around your house or purchase puzzle games for your pet to solve to gain access to the treat. Some of these puzzles require supervision others can be left alone with your puppy or dog until they tire themselves out.

· Invest in a dog subscription box to introduce a variety of customized foods, toys, treats, and chews usually on a monthly basis

· Have a good perch or lookout window for your dog with a comfortable dog pillow

· If your dog is a television watcher, there are streaming services available including YouTube for dogs, DOGTV available on Comcast. Amazon prime carries doggy TV, Hulu also has shows dedicated to dogs.

· White noise machines can be calming for dogs or playing classical music (some researchers suggest dogs prefer reggae or soft rock) can have a similar effect to blocking outside sounds such a sirens or construction

· Consider Adopting a second companion can be the answer to decreasing boredom

· Routine visits to the doggy park or playdates with neighbor dogs
