The Valentine’s Day Pink Bear by Zippy Paws features crinkle paper in the head and tail to entice your dog. The exclusive jiggler noisemaker in the body gives off a loud squeak when your dog shakes it from side to side.

There is no stuffing inside this toy which means less mess. Some dogs love to rip apart a toy just to get to the stuffing, but, there is no worry with this toy.

Zippy Paws Jigglerz are lined with an extra layer of tough Cordura material and cross-stitched for even more durability.

Your dog will love to carry this toy around and it is great for games of fetch or light tug of war sessions.

This toy is durable enough to withstand rough play sessions, but be aware that aggressive chewers will have no problem ripping it apart.

5. Lulubelles Power Plush Chocolate Covered Strawberry

Valentine’s Day isn’t complete without chocolate-covered strawberries! Of course, your pup can’t enjoy the real thing. But, your pup can indulge in his very own chocolate-covered strawberry just for him.

This plush toy by Lulubelles features an ultra-soft plush exterior that is gentle on your dog’s mouth. The internal is reinforced with an extra layer of durable mesh and reinforced nylon taped seams for extra strength.

7. Ultra Soft Pet Bed by Mora Pets

Treat your dog to a nice soft comfortable pet bed. This soft bed will give your dog a more comfortable spot to lay on instead of the hard floor.

This mat is ideal for use in a crate, a travel carrier, your vehicle or anywhere your dog lays.

The Mora Pets Ultra Soft Pet Bed is reversible, featuring colourful flannel on top and a soft fleece bottom. It has a generous thickness of 1.5 inches, which provides great cushioning to older and younger dogs.

It is lightweight and can be folded for storage or for easy transport. It is made with high-quality fleece and filled with cotton. If this mat gets dirty, you can simply machine wash it and throw it in the dryer.

Available in 5 sizes, with the largest size being ideal for dogs up to 65 pounds. It is also available in brown or dark blue.

This bed comes with a 1 Year Warranty.

8. Majestic Pet Sherpa Bagel Dog Bed

I couldn’t resist adding this bagel bed to the list because it fits the Valentine’s Day theme in this gorgeous red colour.

Not only is this a great-looking bed, but it is durable and high-quality and made in the USA. It is soft and comfortable and provides your dog with a well-deserved quality sleep.

Its bagel shape is ideal for dogs who love to get cozy and snuggly and love to nest. The raised bolsters provide a sense of security, as well as cushioning support for your dog’s head and neck.

The outer material is made of 7-ounce Polyester/Cotton Twill, and the inside is filled with a Premium High Loft Polyester Fiber Fill.

The bottom base is made of waterproof 300/600 Denier, to prevent any accidents or wetness from leaking onto your floor.

This entire bed is easy to clean and can be machine washed and tumble dried.

Various sizes are available to suit small and large dogs, and it is available in different colours as well.

This bed is popular among dog owners because dogs love how comfortable it is. The bolsters are generously stuffed, and it provides great support.

There are a few drawbacks to be aware of. The outer cover cannot be removed, which means this bed will need to be spot cleaned, or put in the washing machine. Dog hair easily sticks to the bed.

I recommend putting a blanket over the bed to protect it and keep it clean. This way you only need to wash the blanket.

9. SlowTon Hand Free Sling Pet Carrier

Take your furry best friend wherever you go! This hand-free sling allows you to carry your small dog with you while you run errands.

You and your dog can enjoy more outings together, such as going to the mall, grocery stores, bus or subway rides, to the park, or long distance walks.

This pet carrier is suitable for small pets weighing up to 13 pounds. It’s great for cats too and taking your pet to the vet’s office.

The shoulder strap is adjustable and comfortable for you to wear because it is padded with soft foam. It is safe for your pet because it includes an adjustable safety hook that attaches to your dog’s collar as well as 2 buttons on the opening of the bag to securely keep your dog in place.

The front of the bag features a zippered pocket for storing your cellphone, keys, dog treats, poop bags, or other small items.

This bag is durable and is made of high-quality breathable cotton. It is easy to clean and can be machine washed.

Available in various colours.

10. Nina Ottosson by Outward Hound Dog Treat Puzzle

Challenge your dog’s mind with this best-selling treat puzzle from Nina Ottosson by Outward Hound. Just 15 minutes of mental exercise is equivalent to 30 minutes of physical activity.

The Dog Brick puzzle keeps your dog stimulated by using and testing his problem-solving skills and abilities. Prevent boredom and destructive behaviour with this level 2 intermediate puzzle toy for dogs.

How does it work? There are 3 different types of treat hiding compartments, flip, slide and lift.

The 8 red blocks have a lid that your dog can flip up to reveal treats or kibble inside, and they can slide to reveal treats underneath. The 4 white bones can be removed by your dog’s nose or paws to reveal treats underneath.

This puzzle toy works best with kibble or small treats, it can hold 1 cup of food. The non-slip base allows this toy to stay in place while your dog tries to reveal the hidden treats.

Safety Tips When Buying Valentine Gifts For Dogs

Treating your special pup to a Valentine’s Day gift is fun and exciting, but there are some important safety tips that you should always be aware of.

Buy The Correct Size

When buying toys or treats for your dog you will want to be sure to get the appropriate size for your dog.

Some toys are just too small for large dogs and can be a real safety concern for them. Toys that are too small can be a choking hazard for large dogs.

Avoid Dangerous and Toxic Items

Everyone knows that chocolate is dangerous to dogs and should be avoided at all times. Xylitol is an artificial sweetener that should be avoided as well.

Other items such as wrapping paper, ribbons, bows, and your flower arrangements are dangerous items too. Roses have thorns on them which are dangerous to your dog, and Lilies are toxic.

Know Your Dog’s Chewing Style

Plush toys and toys that contain squeakers are great toys for dogs who are gentle chewers, but you will want to avoid these types of toys if your dog is an aggressive chewer.

For heavy chewing dogs, you will want to get tough chew toys that are guaranteed to last.

Supervision Is A Must

As with any new toy or treat that you give your dog, you will always want to supervise your dog. If your dog rips apart his new toy, make sure to remove it before any broken pieces are ingested.

Dog Owners Love To Spoil Their Dogs On Valentine’s Day

If you think you’re the only one spoiling your dog this Valentine’s Day, think again!

According to a survey done last year by rover.com, nearly half of all dog parents have planned a special Valentine’s Day just for their dog!

Dog owners included buying their dog a new outfit or toy in their special Valentine’s Day plans for their dog.

The survey also showed that nearly half of dog owners enjoy cuddling their dogs more than their significant other.

The love we have for our dogs is real, and if you’re wondering if your dog shares the same feelings, you’ll have to keep an eye out for these 12 signs of love.

What Can I Do With My Dog On Valentine’s Day?

Okay, so you’re probably already showing your dog that he or she is your absolute number 1 every day of the year. But, you can certainly show some extra love to your dog to make him or her feel extra special on Valentine’s Day.

Here are some great ideas:

Go For A Nice Walk

You should be doing this daily already, but dogs love going for walks especially with their favourite human, you!

Allow your dog some time to sniff around and enjoy the sights. You could even explore a new trail or neighbourhood to make the walk more special.

Do What Your Dog Loves To Do

Making your dog feel special means doing what he loves to do. Whether it’s going to the dog park, playing with his favourite toy, or engaging in a game of fetch or tug-of-war, your dog will be happy just doing what he loves.

Relax And Just Hang Out Together

Your dog loves nothing more than spending quality time with you. It doesn’t always have to involve physical activity, just hanging out together and enjoying a relaxing moment is a great way to bond.

Give Your Dog Plenty Of Belly/Ear Rubs

If your dog loves ear rubs or belly rubs, be sure to give him plenty to make him feel extra special.
