One of the good things about owning a pet is that you always have someone to take care of and spend time with. Studies show that owning a pet can lower stress hormones, heart rate and anxiety levels!
As a thank you for all that out pets do for us, why not treat them this Love Your Pet Day
Some ways in which you can show your pet you love them
- Do something they enjoy – One of the best ways to show your pet you love them is by spending time with them doing something they enjoy. It could be taking your dog on a long walk or to their favourite park, or cuddling up on the sofa with your cat, or even going for a hack on your horse – time is priceless.
- Buy them a new toy – Depending on your pet of course, but buying them a brand new toy for them to play with can make them very happy – even better if it’s one you can play with together!
- Take them on a photoshoot – Document the time you’ve spent with your pet by going on a professional photoshoot. Or, if you don’t want to spend money on a professional shoot, simply get snapping with your phone or camera and capture those every day memories.
Don’t have a pet to spoil?
If you don’t have a pet you can spoil with attention this Love Your Pet Day, why not consider volunteering at a local animal rescue centre or donating some money or food/toys to the animals in their care.
