When you own a dog, one of the most challenging things is not resisting the desire to treat them daily. If your Dog is doing something well or is acting with a lot of affection or appears better than usual, it’s enough to make it easy to reach for treats or new toys for them to show your appreciation. At Daily Paws, we are all about spoiling our pets and giving them a more than-average lifestyle. However, it’s crucial to ensure you’re staying hydrated (hello, your bank account balance).
Here are a few signs that your Dog has been living an extravagant lifestyle. We like to call it not spoilt but just excessively indulged.
1. There are Toy Baskets in every single room.
The idea of having a bag full of dog toys within one room of your home could be one of the things. However, having toys everywhere in the bedroom, living room, and the kitchen is different. This means your home is designed around your Dog’s time and playtime. You’re prepared to take care of cleaning the toys wherever and anytime. It’s alright, and there’s no reason not to provide your Dog with all the toys there are! If you’re bored of grabbing toys and chewies whenever you enter the room, think about establishing an area in your home to store all of your Dog’s objects or rotating his toys so that he believes he’s receiving each week a new item.
2. You Give your Dog the Puppuccino each time you’re in the Car.
One of the most successful decisions Starbucks made was to add the cappuccino, also known as an ice-filled cup stuffed with whip cream, as part of their menu of personal items. It’s now a favorite snack for many dogs who love treats and their coffee-loving parents. We don’t believe it’s our fault that we are lucky enough to be at the Starbucks drive-thru line each when we return home from our trip to the pet park. Be aware that treats shouldn’t be around 10% of the Dog’s daily caloric intake. It’s wise to keep the sweet treats only for occasions that require them.
3. You plan your entire day around your Dog.
There are many ways to integrate your pet into your everyday life, whether going for a walk, playing with them in your local park, or taking them to the dog-friendly eatery or outdoor patio. With so many pet-friendly options being introduced, there’s no reason not to take our furry friends everywhere we go and to be embarrassed if we leave our Dog behind at home. But before you take your pet on your next adventure, be sure they’re comfortable and willing to go. Some pets are just homesick. (And that’s fine!)
4. You Get Home Early After Outings Because You Don’t Want To Miss Too Much
We all love our pets when we’re not in their company. It’s normal to be reluctant to be absent from them for long periods. Nothing is more frustrating than your Dog looking at you with sad puppy eyes as you prepare to leave for work or have dinner with your friends! Dogs are social creatures and are incredibly affectionate with their human companions. However, taking some time off is essential to avoid separation anxiety. So long as you’ve left your pet at home safely for a long time, you can fully enjoy your alone plans without guilt. When you think of leaving early, remember that the Dog’s in good health, and you’ll be back soon.
5. There’s a Closet Only for your Dog’s Wardrobe
Nothing is more adorable than seeing a dog dressed in a warm sweatshirt or wearing a stylish pair of boots. Remember to add the bandana that’s appropriate for any season! Many pet parents are delighted to buy new pet outfits and take adorable photos of their pups wearing their new clothes. If you’re spending significant cash on clothing for your Dog and accessories, and the closet is stuffed with hundreds of things, it’s time to pare down. Your Dog will appear friendly regardless of what they’re dressed in (or aren’t wearing), but you don’t have to spend a fortune on an outfit.
6. You’ll always think about buying them A New Product.
A $20 purchase of a sweet new toy, bandana (bonus points when it’s themed to an occasion), or even a bag of snacks for your Dog? It’s a no-brainer! Are you spending $20 on a new item for yourself? Don’t bother! It’s easy to become caught up in a quest to pamper your Dog with everything it’ll ever need. Remember that they’re satisfied with a pleasant stroll and quality time with you, whether or without the collar, leash, or Poop bag dispenser.
7. You spend more time and money on their meals than you do.
You’ll know you’re a committed dog lover when you go that extra step to cook your Dog’s food by hand every day or provide them with a costly particular food item after conversing with your veterinarian to ensure it’s the best option for your Dog, of course. Your Dog will undoubtedly be spoilt with a meal that takes an hour to prepare and a plethora of fancy ingredients, and then you search through the pantry to find a bag that contains mac and cheese to make your meal. If you are concerned that you might be a little overboard, Your vet can assist you in creating a simply healthy, budget-friendly, and affordable food plan for your pet. Do not force yourself to ask yourself and your pet the old question, “What’s going to dinner?” each night.
