7 Sweet Valentine's Day Gifts For Your Dog, Because They'll Love You Fur-ever

by Jasmine Vaughn-Hall

Oh, Valentine's Day. Where would we be without your chocolate mania, hearts, and red and pink everything? With our dogs, of course, and that's why they aren't exempt from any holiday, even the lovey dovey ones. You're not being extra if you buy Valentine's Day gifts for your dog, because they're your fur baby and any holiday you celebrate, they celebrate, too.

Besides, your pup always appreciates everything you give them, down to the small things, like your time and attention. They are the best receivers of gifts because that wagging tail and those wet kisses are always guaranteed. When they're happy, you're happy, and if you absolutely despise V-Day, spending it with your furry friend will actually make it tolerable.

The day is all about love, right? Well, since you love them so much, you're already skimming for cute gifts. Also, how much more adorable will you make your feed with a snapshot of them with their new toy or dressed up all dapper for the occasion? It doesn't get any more Instagram-worthy than that. Since it's unlikely that'll you'll be able to take your fur baby out to a fancy dinner for two, you can still bring them a little piece of the holiday with any one of these gifts.

01A Heart-Shaped Squeaky Toy

03A Valentine's Treat Box

Now, won't this be such a treat for your fur bae? Since you absolutely shouldn't give your dog any chocolate, give them a variation of sweet treats that they will definitely wag their tail about. They won't know which bone to eat first, but expect some excited barking and jumping around once they see this.

04A Soft Blanket For Cuddling Purposes

Your pup deserves to be soft and comfy at all times. Once they've bonded with that one item that does that very thing, there's no going back.

05A Pink And Red Water Bowl

Plan on making your pup something extra special on V-Day? Go full out and make sure they are eating it in a brand new, festive bowl with those notorious hearts on them. They may not get the hearts part, but that meal will surely be memorable.

06A New Friend

Chewy

Does your pup need a new friend, but you can't exactly take on another real fur baby? This toy will bark like a real dog and make your pup feel less lonely when you're not home. Don't be surprised if they want to take their new friend everywhere with them.

07An Everlasting Treat Ball

Amazon

Remember those Everlasting Gobstoppers from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory? Well, it's pretty much that same concept, but safe enough for your dog to play with. No more chowing down treats in seconds and immediately asking for more. OK, maybe this is a bit of a gift for you as well.

All you'll have to do is fill it with your pooch's fave treats, and they'll have a total ball playing with it. See what I did there?

Any holiday spent with your pup is one worth celebrating. They may not totally get the concept, because you already love them every single day.
