Doggy Date Night Ideas

There’s a pretty cute doggy holiday around the corner: February 3rd is Doggy Date Night! This fun observation day is geared at reminding people to carve out some quality time with their canine companions. (Fido, of course, is all-in on this idea.) Read on as a local Middletown, DE vet suggests some cute ways to celebrate with your pup.

Grooming

You want your four-legged pal to look his best for the big night! A bath may be in order, but if your pooch isn’t quite due for a full beauty treatment, then you can just brush him and clip his nails.

Dinner

Dinner is one of the most popular date activities. It’s probably safe to say you won’t have a hard time getting your furry buddy on board! Treat Fido to something special. You can try cooking for your pooch, or take him to a dog-friendly café. Another option is to hit a drive thru. Most restaurants will have something that’s suitable for dogs. You may also want to look for places that have secret menu items for Man’s Best Friend. (Starbucks’ puppuccino is a great example of this.)

Photo Shoot

Doggy date night is a perfect time to snap some cute pics with your four-legged friend. Fido is a great model! (Tip: snap his picture against a background that contrasts his coat.) 

Movie

The best thing about doggy date night? You don’t have to go anywhere! Many of our canine pals love to hang out with their owners as they are unwinding at the end of a long day. Pick one of the many movies that Man’s Best Friend has starred in. The Channing Tatum flick Dog may be the most recent, but there are plenty of great ones to choose from.

Active Date

Do you have an active, adventurous pup? Take Fido on a fun excursion! Weather permitting, you can visit a new park or trail with your furry friend. You can even make it a double date or group date by inviting friends and family members with dogs along.

Pet Store

Many pet stores allow their canine customers to come in. Bring Fido to a nearby retailer and have him pick out a new toy!
