Fun Things To Do With Your Pup This Summer!
Summer is for the dogs! With the weather getting nicer and the days getting longer - who doesn’t love summer?! We are listing all the activities you should do with your dog this summer to have the best doggone summer ever so let’s get started!
Make Summer Treats
When there are homemade treats on the table filled with love, your dog wants them even more! Opt for making frozen treats (for obvious reasons). You can do almost anything with an ice cube tray, some water, and their favorite foods. Even something as simple as equal parts water and chicken broth then freeze. You can also add blueberries or carrots to them for an extra surprise treat! Your pups will be addicted!
Go on a Camping Trip
Dogs always love to be one with nature. Take them out with you on a family camping trip and see how they do! Most dogs love being outside with the ones they love, in the fresh air, and smelling all the doggone good food around them!
Take a Hike
Get out and take a hike, pal! Grab your athletic dog for some hikes with beautiful views at the end of it. Most hiking trails are pretty dog-friendly and easy enough on them so that they won’t need you to carry their fluffy butts back to the car! But always do your research and keep an eye out for plants and other critters that might harm your pupper.
Throw a Pet BBQ
Invite your best friends and their puppy loves over for some backyard fun! Throw some burgers on the grill, toss a frisbee or two, and have a day filled with laughs and barks. And if you do something like this, make sure you place an order for a to-go Summer Feast BBQ from us here at DP!
Play in the Water
Whether you have a pool, a place by the lake, or maybe a doggy beach near you - let’s make a water dog out of your pup! Many dogs are inclined to love water and swimming around. Be sure to keep an eye on them and even opt for doggy life jackets for extra protection.
Road Trip
There is nothing like having your dog as your shotgun rider just hounding you for a road trip! Take your best buddy out and explore someplace new for a day. Not only will they have fun, but maybe you will find your next best adventure spot.
Learn a New Trick
Any dog can learn any trick! Take this summer to learn a new trick. The new thing nowadays is getting your dog to talk. No, seriously. There are these buttons where your dog can learn to speak by pushing them and making sentences! Check them out on IG and TikTok!
Let Your Dog Walk You
Take an hour or two to go to a new neighborhood that your dog doesn’t really know and let them walk YOU! Sure, this goes against every training blog EVER - but life is all about breaking the rules! See what adventure you go on and record your findings.
Your dog will thank you for the best summer ever not because you went through this PAW-SOME checklist but because they were with you the whole time! Make sure you take lots of pictures and videos to cherish these memories forever. And I mean, we definitely wouldn’t be mad if you tagged us in all of your hilarious and adorable dog videos this summer for us to squeal over!
Be sure to tell us in the comments or on IG what you all are doing this summer!
Have a safe and happy summer, fur-ends!
