Love is the quiet force that makes another person’s happiness feel as essential as your own, and in pets, that love finds its purest, most honest form – given freely, felt deeply, and returned without
conditions. Valentine’s Day is no longer just about romantic love. It encompasses filial love and celebrates your connection with friends and now, even pets.
If you also feel intense emotion towards your pets and think of them as adorable little creatures that live in your home and deserve their day to be made special, plan a day that includes their favourite activites. As we approach Valentine’s Day, Kanan Modi, Operations Manager, Freossi, shares some suggestions on how you can celebrate the day of love with your partner and pet.
An energetic start to the day with a hike – checks both boxes – exercise & mental stimulation
Get your endorphins flowing with a hike. Experience a beautiful sunrise, good air quality and a break from the daily grind on a hiking trail near you. One of the best ways to reconnect with your family, away from the hustle & bustle of the city!
A scenic picnic on the trail with your pet’s favourite treats & meals
Get to the top and open your picnic basket for a family meal in the hills! Nothing like a fresh, earthy meal with the ones you love. In today’s fast paced times, meals have become part of the chore. Make V-Day the day you eat as a family, without any screens.
A Spa(w) Day to relax after the hike
You can take your pet for a relaxing spa after the hike. Choose a pet grooming café to enjoy a coffee while your pet gets coiffed.
A relaxing afternoon of watching Bluey on the telly – a great visual experience you can share with your pet
It is normally seen that any preschool child in front of the animated series Bluey, will be glued by a Blue Heeler puppy making her journey with family and friends. It is really a pleasure to spend the evening with favourite puppies or a dog to watch this. Bluey uses a color palette heavy on blues, yellows, and browns, which are shades that dogs can see. Dogs are dichromatic, meaning they see a more limited range of colors (mostly shades of blue and yellow) compared to humans. Many pet parents use Bluey as a tool to calm anxious dogs or to entertain them when left home alone. The show is recommended as a comforting background noise for senior dogs to reduce separation anxiety.
End the day with a dinner at a pet friendly restaurant where they can meet their friends and have a ball
This might be the perfect opportunity to throw a little celebration in honour of your pets at a pet-friendly café where they will find furry friends and treats. These cafes are welcoming spaces for dining with pets, often featuring special menus, play areas, and outdoor seating. Make them a pet-friendly treat, and send out fun dog- or cat-themed invitations for festive feelings at dinner.
