The day dedicated to love is coming up. While Jack may not be the main love of your life, you can still show him that you love him with special Valentine’s Day gifts for dogs. You don’t have to go out and buy him a diamond encrusted collar to make him happy, either. Many of the gifts that Jack is sure to love are very inexpensive.

Deer Antlers
Deer antlers are a wonderful chew toy for Jack, and what dog doesn’t loving to chew? Deer antlers are a safe and healthy chewy for your dog. Don’t worry; no deer were hurt to get the antlers. As a deer matures he sheds his antlers. These excellent raw hide substitutes are a great way to keep Jack busy for a little while so you can enjoy some quiet time for yourself on Valentine’s Day. The bone marrow naturally clean tartar from Jack’s teeth and they won’t splinter in Jack’s stomach the way cooked bones have the potential to. Additionally, deer antlers don’t have any residue, so you don’t have to worry about stains on your carpet or furniture.

A Tasty Puzzle
Dogs are inquisitive by nature, so giving Jack a puzzle to figure out will keep him happy. No, Jack isn’t going to develop a talent for doing puzzles like you do, but you can make him a puzzle of his own. You need a hollow, rubber chew toy like a Kong. Fill the inside of the chew toy with peanut butter or canned cheese. Jack will love the tasty treat and he will have fun trying to use his tongue to get the stuffing out of the toy. If you want the stuffing to last as long as possible, put it in the refrigerator overnight before presenting it to Jack.

Outside Toys
If Jack is a dog who enjoys spending lots of time outside, give Jack some new outside toys for Valentine’s Day. A new Frisbee, some tennis balls or a throw stick are some great and inexpensive ideas. If you want to give Jack some added fun, choose a toy that vibrates or makes noise. Now, if you decide to give Jack a new outside toy, don’t tease him with it by expecting him to play in the house. Pencil in some time on Valentine’s Day and beyond to take Jack out to enjoy his new toy. If it is cold outside, be sure to get Jack a sweater and some booties for his feet so that he can truly enjoy his time outside. If you don’t think he’ll wear the cold weather ensemble, watch for shivering. It’s not as though he can tell you he’s cold.

Time and Love
Even if you are on a very tight budget, you can still afford to give Jack something he is sure to love if you just give him some of your time. Dogs love attention, so if your budget doesn’t allow you to buy Jack a gift, just grab his leash and take him out for a walk. When you get back from your walk, spend some time rubbing him or grooming him. If Jack likes to take a bath, give him a warm bath in the tub and take some extra time to massage his coat as you go.

Tip
When you are getting Jack’s presents ready for him, don’t wrap them up in paper or use bows on them. These items may cause Jack to choke if he tries to chew them off. Instead, you can place Jack’s present in his food dish before he gets up in the morning. Just imagine how happy he will be to see that he has something new to explore for the day.
