In observation of National Paw It Forward Day, an annual pet appreciation event sponsored by our friends at VCA Canada, we are celebrating our role as pet parents. Whether it’s tossing the ball, taking a stroll, or cuddling on the couch with your best mate, today is about quality time.  How do you #PawIfForward for your pet?

Six tips to celebrate National Paw It Forward Day with your pets

Grab a cardio session

A morning fitness session is a great way to exercise and bond with your pet. Pick an activity that is comfortable for both of your fitness levels. The sky is the limit! You could partake in a morning run, walk thru the park, or toss the old ball.

 

 

Table for two

After your morning exercise activity, grab a bite to eat with your furry companion. Many establishments allow for dining with your pet on outside patios. Also, you could picnic in the park and enjoy the atmosphere. Who doesn’t want bottomless water bowls?

 

 

 

Spa Day

Take a spa day and treat your furry companion!  Regular grooming is a great way to bond with your furry friend. Additionally, you can splurge on an actual spa day, and treat your furry friend to a  pawdicures, massage, and hair tint. Sounds like a great way to celebrate National Paw It Forward Day!

 

 

Shopping spree

Hit the sales rack and grab some stylish garb for you and your pet. Alternatively, a new toy for your playful pal would do the trick. Your pet would be proud to show off new digs or have a new toy to add to the collection.

 

 

Capture the moment

A picture says a 1000 words. Snap a picture and commemorate the special day. When you snag that photo and post to your social media account of choice, make sure to use the #pawitforward.

 

 

 

Rest and relaxation

After a long fun-filled day it’s time for some rest! Nothing is better than simply being home spending quality time with our furry companion. Kick up those paws and enjoy!

 

 

National Paw It Forward Day is about celebrating the unique relationship we have our pets, showing appreciation for the unconditional love they give us each day.
