Looking for the perfect way to spoil your pup and show them just how much you love them? We’ve got you covered with four fun, easy ideas for a cozy and memorable doggy date night. Whether you’re celebrating Valentine’s Day, National Dog Day, or just want to spend some quality time with your furry best friend, these ideas are ones you can use any time of year.

Because honestly—what’s better than kicking back and relaxing with your dog? (Spoiler: nothing.) And if you don’t have a human Valentine this year, no worries—your pup would be honored to be your one and only. 

Playtime

The key to a calm, snuggly night? A well-exercised pup! Start your date night with a little physical or mental stimulation to help your dog burn off extra energy.

Here are a few fun pre-date activities:

  • A game of fetch

  • Tug-of-war

  • A new puzzle toy

  • A walk around the neighborhood

Tiring your dog out a bit beforehand means they’ll be way more relaxed once it’s time to wind down.

Cuddles

Is your dog’s love language physical touch? Then it’s time to embrace the childhood joy of building a pillow-and-blanket fort. Yep, it’s still cool.

Once you’ve built your cozy little nest, grab some pillows, get under the blankets, and cuddle up with your pup. Dogs thrive on that bonding time, and you’ll both be warm, relaxed, and totally content.

Takeout

Treat yourself to your favorite takeout and treat your pup to theirs! Our Stress Releaf Edibites in Bacon flavor are the ultimate dog-friendly snack for a cozy night in.
