As we kick off the new year, you might be looking for ways to improve your life. But don’t forget your dog deserves to live their best 2022 too! Here are seven unique ideas bound to make hounds happy (and please their parents) for years to come.
Interactive Dog Camera
If you plan to leave the house more than last year, a dog camera can keep your canine entertained (and help you keep an eye on them while you’re gone). Most allow two-way talk with your dog, and some even have a gaming function to dispense treats from a mobile app. You won’t feel guilty being apart from Fido, thanks to these gadgets. See some doggy camera options and the latest and greatest gadgets.
Mobile Pet Grooming Services
Take a little stress off your plate while pampering your pooch… at home! Not only will your dog feel fancy, but your friends and family will also thank you for having a clean and hair-free companion. Search for a mobile groomer in your area and schedule an appointment. It saves you a trip, and you can spend time bonding with your pet instead of waiting in line.
At-Home Dog Training
Why not use your time cooped up indoors to teach your pup some new tricks? Online dog training is easy and prices are usually less expensive than an in-person dog trainer (sometimes free). You’re not restricted to the dog trainer’s schedule, and you can train virtually anywhere. In most cases, all you need is a device to stream videos and an internet connection. Training at home allows your dog to learn in his regular environment instead of an unfamiliar setting. These pet services can be especially helpful with territorial pooches.
Dog Subscription Box
Dog subscription services are a great solution to having plenty of toys, treats, and health items on hand for your pup. Similar to monthly subscription clubs for humans, you can get doggie boxes delivered to your home every month, too. Experts handpick the best, high-quality, all-natural products, and you can skip the hassle of trying to purchase one-of-kind items from specialty shops. In most cases, you’ll save money, as products often cost a fraction of what you’d pay at retail. Plus, it’s fun for you both to unveil what’s inside, and many of these companies donate a portion of profits to support dogs in need, benefitting a great cause.
Luxurious Dog Bed
Keep your canine cozy with a high-end dog bed. Based on the instinctive behaviors of their ancestors, the Cozy Cave® allows dogs to “burrow” and feel more secure in their beds. Snoozer makes a variety of dog beds for every pup, including orthopedic loungers, plush, luxury sleeper sofas, and everything in between. All of their high quality dog products are designed with comfort in mind. See some of our top picks for dog beds, including special needs like anxiety and arthritis.
Pet Insurance
A big misconception about pet insurance is that it’s too expensive. We spend hundreds of dollars on ourselves and our families each month for health insurance, yet we don’t get coverage for our furry “children.” In reality, paying an average of $50 per month for pet insurance could end up saving your pet’s life if they need emergency surgery and you have to decide between treatment and euthanasia based on the cost.The COVID-19 pandemic has introduced many pet parents to telehealth and online vet services for their pet’s needs and most pet insurance providers have added this coverage to their services. Learn more about how Pet Insurance works and how it can help you care for your pet in times of need.
