March 23 is National Puppy Day! There are so many ways you can celebrate the paw-some puppies in your life. Here are 10 fun ideas you can use to show your four-legged friends the love they deserve.
 

1. Start the Day Out Right

Everyone knows it can be difficult to get out of bed in the morning to take your puppy out, so make an effort today to be just as excited to see them first thing as they are to see you. Start the day out with happy, playful energy to give you all a boost.
 

2. Treat Them 

Have you been eyeing that homemade puppy treats recipe for a while but have not made the leap to try it? National Puppy Day is the perfect excuse to bust out the baking tools and throw something tasty together for your dogs. You can even buy some cute bone-shaped cookie cutters to give them an extra bit of fun. Check before using ingredients to ensure they are safe for puppies to consume. 
 

3. Give Them a Spa Day

Though it is not for every puppy, many dogs love water and the attention that comes along with a spa day. Sign your furry friend up for a special trip to the groomer to get clean and pristine.
 

4. Take Them Somewhere New

It is not only people who love the novelty of new places. Puppies love exploring new parks, trails, and beaches. Find somewhere you can take your pups that they will enjoy investigating. 
 

5. Surprise Them with a Toy

Puppies love something new to play with. Pick up a new toy that is both safe and fun for them from one of our 3 locations – Waipahu Waikele, Wahiawa, & Makai.
 

6. Introduce a New Game

National Puppy Day is a great day to try a new game out. Hide a treat from them and have them try to find it or invest in a puppy puzzle for them to work out.
 

7. Get Them a Friend

If your puppy enjoys the company of other dogs and you have the time, money, and energy to invest in another, adopting a new puppy into the family can be a great way to give them a new friend and companion.
 

8. Take Them for a Ride

For many puppies, getting to go on a ride with their family is a treat in itself! Load them up safely and watch their happy faces as the world rushes by them.
 

9. Schedule an Appointment with Their Vet

One of the best things you can do for your puppies is to make sure they are in good health and their shots and vaccinations are up-to-date.
 

10. Spend Time Together

Nothing is more precious to your puppy than time spent with you. Whether you are cuddling, walking, or playing, time together is the greatest gift.
