Valentine’s Day is a great time to show
appreciation and affection for your loved ones, including your pets. Spoil your
favorite furry friends with these fun treats and gifts for dogs and cats. Whether
you love a good DIY project or just want to find something extra special this
holiday, these ideas are guaranteed to spoil your fur babies on Valentine’s
Day.
Paw-Print
Dog Treats
These cute paw-print dog treats
from Martha Stewart will bring out your inner culinary artist. The dough is
simple to put together and rolls out like a typical sticky biscuit dough. If
you don’t have a cookie-cutter to make the shapes, a wine glass or other thin
circular container will work just fine (and your dog probably won’t even notice
the difference). Add thumbprint ‘paw prints’ in the middle of the biscuits
before baking and the rest is up to the oven. These treats can be stored in a
container on your countertop for up to a month, provided they don’t get gobbled
up first.
Heart-Shaped
Frozen Peanut Butter & Yogurt Treats
Frozen dog treats are a great way for
your four-legged friend to savor the experience. These frozen peanut butter and yogurt treats come together in no time. The only special tool needed is a
heart-shaped silicone mold or ice tray, which is easy to find this time of year
at your local grocer or craft store. Just add plain yogurt and a dollop of
peanut butter to the tray, then pop it in the freezer for a few hours until
they harden. Your pup will love gnawing on these tasty protein-packed treats!

Local at Woof Gang Bakery
If DIY isn’t your thing, you can still
shower your pup with Valentine-themed treats from a local pet bakery. Woof Gang Bakery
in Boulder has tons of adorable dog-friendly biscuits for all occasions. They
even have cake mixes for your upcoming doggo birthday celebration! Bring your
fur baby in to sniff out their favorite all-natural cookie, then treat your pet
to some pampering with Woof Gang’s mindful grooming services, so Fido will look
and feel their best.
Catnip
Conversation Hearts
Cats are notoriously picky when it comes
to presents and food. Most prefer the packaging over the product and are likely
to turn their nose up at anything unfamiliar (or just because they feel like
it). However, even the pickiest of kitties will cozy up to a catnip-filled toy!
You can make your own catnip-stuffed conversation hearts with some felt and a sewing machine, or save some time and buy them on Etsy.

toys, nothing says love quite like matching accessories. Make it official with
