Is your dog your Valentine? Consider yourself lucky! A dog’s love is loyal, powerful, and unconditional. If you’re planning to spend the day of love with your canine companion, here’s a few pet-friendly activities you can enjoy together.
1. Book a room!
Looking to get away for a day or two? Grab your canine bestie and head to a luxury pet-friendly hotel! Note: Spontaneity is great, but don’t forget to call ahead to be sure they have rooms available for canine guests.
2. Bake some heart-shaped dog treats
Find a healthy treat recipe and whip up a batch of delicious, wholesome cookies for your pooch using a heart-shaped cookie cutter! It’s the perfect way to spend the afternoon, and he’ll love being the official taste tester.

Grab your phone or camera and capture some cheesy memories … or hire a photographer to take pictures of both of you!
