Doggy Date Night: How to Create a Pawesome Time!

If you're anything like us, you don't need an excuse to have a doggy date night! But February 3rd provides the nudge, just in case you need one, to spend some quality time with your pup because it just so happens to be Doggy Date Night. Here are some fun ideas to get ready for an evening with the best date in town, on February 3rd or on any day!

How to Have a Great Doggy Date Night

1. Plan Your Doggy Date

First things first, plan where you both want to spend the evening. If your pup enjoys the great outdoors and socializing with other dogs, you could have a late afternoon picnic in a local dog-friendly park. You could also invite a friend and their furry friend too - double doggy date nights are just as good, right?

For pups (and owners) who prefer staying in, you could create a cozy nook at home with your dog's favorite blanket and toys, or get set up on the sofa together.

2. A Feast Fit for a Furry King or Queen

Doggy Date Night calls for a special meal. Serve dog-friendly dishes you know your pup will enjoy, like chicken and steamed vegetables. Just be mindful of portion size for your furry friend and ensure you avoid any food that can be harmful to dogs, like chocolate and onions. And for dessert, why not try whipping up some homemade dog treats? 

3. Choose Fun Activities

Choose an activity or 2 your dog loves. A fun game of fetch or a visit to a dog park can be great if they’re energetic, whereas more laid-back pups might enjoy a leisurely walk and an engaging puzzle game to keep them entertained. A scavenger hunt where they get to search for hidden treats is another fun option to try out.

4. Include a Special Surprise

Since it's a special date, it would be nice to give your dog a fun surprise, like a new toy. 

5. Capture the Moments

Snap some photos of your doggy date night to keep for yourself or share with the world! Our waggish apparel will put the finishing touch to your pics! Explore our Dogs Collection to find merch that matches your pup, or opt for a fun slogan.

6. Wind Down Together

Snuggling up to your pup and watching a movie (a dog-themed one would be apt) or simply enjoying each other's company is the perfect end to your Doggy Date Night! 

7. Turn it Into a Tradition

Why limit this to a one-time event? Make Doggy Date Night on February 3rd an annual tradition, or even better, have regular date nights with your pup.

So, on February 3rd, prepare a pawsitively unforgettable evening with your four-legged best friend to celebrate Doggy Date Night! And repeat whenever you like, of course.
