There is nothing that makes us happier as doggo pawrents than when we stop stopping ourselves from spoiling our canine children. That rush we get from getting to give them something that immediately makes them ultra happy is unmatched. So if you have run out of new ideas or are just looking for some more you have come to the right place.

Coming from Reddit's r/dogs subreddit, these pampering pawrent suggestions are the result of hundreds of years of canine-hooman relations. With each passing year our bond has grown deeper and more distinctive and with that a whole heap of new and interesting ways to spoil our doggos are coming about. Canine loving creativity seems to truly have no bounds and will take you far past what you imagined that your doggo would even appreciate.

After all, all we want for our doggos is to live the luxurious life that we could never afford for ourselves. Because deep down we all know that living vicariously through our pups is one of the best things about being a doggo pawrent. So we hope that you will find some surprising suggestions amongst this list that bring both you and your pupper a whole heap of joy. Now go forth and enjoy the pawsitivty.

    ricecrystal Letting him sniff on walks, but he gets obsessed and sometimes I need to move him along. I do like to let him thoroughly investigate.

    Infinitelris Rugs Q. Rugs and runners. Especially now that he's older. He moves so much more quickly and freely around the house now that he doesn't have to worry about slipping. He'll keep his mobility for longer now so it's a benefit in multiple ways.

    jawstrock An early morning walk, like as soon as i get up, for a nice 20-30 min sniff walk. Also it's nice for me to get out and some fresh air immediately as well.

    cateblanch... I follow a person on line that who gives dog massages and I give each of my dogs a 5-10 massage everyday.

  • Daaang, doggy massages is a strong suggestion. It does not require treats and can be done any place any time. Not to mention it can have some real benefits for your pupper. Improving their circulation, relaxation and appreciation of their pawrent. Heck, if we are already going in for the massage, I say why not go for a full spa day including doggo facials and more? The only thing I could see becoming problematic is if your doggo begins to expect these massages as penance for not comforting them in other ways. Meaning you will end up with hands stronger than an arm wrestler and a massage schedule that could rival a pawfessional.

    VLR_I One small change with enormous impact: encouraging the use of a mute. He's a barky boy! Any stuffy in his mouth immediately quiets the noise! Then he likes to "steal" then from a basket and leave them all over the house. Fun for him, easy on us!

  • Ok, wow this is next level genius. Not only do these pawrents have a sure fire way to calm a reactive doggo and even teach him to self soothe along the way, but they have also spoiled their pupper with plenty of soft toys to play with all over the house. Dogs love discovery and finding things as though it is the first time they found them. And by having all these toys around the house the dog enjoys a new round of delight with each one they find. All the while their pawrent knows that no matter where their doggo is, there will always be a toy nearby to quash their barking.

    Tricky_Class... We started meal prepping (aka chopping up) a Tupperware of cucumbers and bell peppers at the beginning of the week and they get a hefty scoop on top of their regular dinner. My husband calls it doggo salad.

    Smeado... My dog loves watching squirrels and mice mazes on TV. She needs HEAPS of stimulation. I make ice blocks. She has sniffer toys. I turn over pavers for her to catch crickets. I try and vary the walks a lot.

    MayFlour... I've been cooking chopped turkey and adding a little broccoli with their kibble. They love it, it's not that expensive, and they're in really good shape for senior dogs. I usually make a batch a week.

    Cartoonis... Take a cup of kibble and sprinkle it over the grass (weather permitting). They get their meal and a mental workout at the same time. Scent work and mental stimulation always chills my dog out. Sometimes physical activity just winds him up. Tired dogs are happy dogs.

    BrilliantDis... After his nightly pe pe, the pertson who doesn't take him (we alternate) hides 2 cookies in the living room and he has to find them. It's hilarious for us and works his brain. He barges into the room and sniffs all around. So funny.
