If you’ve been looking for a reason to indulge your furry sidekick, Pet Appreciation Week is it. Consider this your green light to show your dog (or cat—we see you, feline fans) some extra love and attention.

Whether you're into DIY fun or feel like splurging a little, here are 10 ways to celebrate your pet with a mix of low-key and luxury vibes.

1. Breakfast in Bed (or at Least, Their Comfiest Spot)

Start the day with their favorite meal served in style, fit for a Certified Good Boy. Add a spoonful of plain yogurt, a splash of bone broth, or a nutritious topper to elevate it. Bonus points if you serve it while they’re still lounging.

2. Upgrade The Day With Honest Paws Soft Chews

Add something special to their day, like Honest Paws CBD soft chews and bites with naturally derived ingredients. Available in pup-approved flavors like peanut butter and poultry, they’re a great way to give your dog something extra.

Whether part of your daily routine or just for this special week, it's a great time to show a little appreciation they’ll remember.

3. Take a “Yes Day” Walk

Let your pet call the shots on this one. If they want to sniff every bush, watch the birds, or take the long scenic route, follow their lead. No schedule, no rules, just time spent doing what they love.

4. Make a DIY Treat Puzzle or Snuffle Mat

Keep them engaged with an at-home activity. Hide snacks like Honest Paws All-Natural Jerky Treats in a rolled-up towel or place kibble in a muffin tin with tennis balls covering each space. Want to make it extra special? Add a few of your dog’s favorite high-value treats to the mix for a little variety.

5. Set Up a Spa Moment

Grab a brush, play something soothing, and offer a gentle grooming session with pet-friendly products like our 5-in-1 Dog Shampoo. Take your time, this is about slowing down and bonding with belly rubs. If your pet enjoys it, finish with a warm towel and a comfy spot to relax.

6. Backyard Picnic for Two

Spread out a blanket, pack a basket, and enjoy the fresh air. For your dog, bring along an Honest Paws crunchy bite or soft chew. It’s a fun way to spend quality time together outside of your usual routine.

7. Say Yes to That Toy

The squeaky one with 10 legs, the puzzle feeder, or the oversized rope you’ve been eyeing—this is the week to bring it home. New toys are a great way to provide enrichment and fun, with guaranteed tail wags.

8. Movie Night, Paw-jama Style

Put on a pet-friendly flick, grab the popcorn (for you), and snuggle up. For your dog, prep a snack bowl with their favorite treats. If your pet already has a wellness routine, you can incorporate it here as well.

9. Schedule a Mini Adventure

Visit a pet-friendly park, trail, or shop. Let them explore somewhere at their own pace. If your pet benefits from a calming support routine during new experiences, bring along your go-to Honest Paws product to help support relaxation during occasional travel or excitement.

10. Let Them Sleep In (And Maybe Join You)

Snooze the alarm. Take it slow. Let your pet sleep in and enjoy a relaxed morning by your side. Whether curled up at your feet or sprawled out on the couch in true professional napper style, sometimes quality time is the gift they need.

Celebrate with Love (and a Few Extras)

Pet Appreciation Week is all about showing love in simple, thoughtful ways. No matter how you spend your time together, the memories you make are the ultimate gift.

And if you’re looking to go the extra mile, Honest Paws offers a range of dog-friendly products made with functional ingredients, designed to support overall wellness, from soft chews to oil-based supplements.

Happy Pet Appreciation Week from all of us at Honest Paws!
