It’s May and it’s a great time to get in touch with nature. Sit on the ground, gather for a talk, share a handmade meal and let your thoughts drift away. Why not go on a picnic and bring the dogs along to run into the arms of nature and have fun on the grass? So how do you prepare a picnic that both pup and pet parents will enjoy? Here are some tips to help you and your puppy enjoy a perfect picnic time!
Searching for a suitable place
Firstly, find a park or open area where pups are allowed. Make sure the location has enough space for your dog to run and play, but also consider the comfort of owners by choosing a shaded area or a place where you can set up a tent to create an exclusive and safe little campsite!
Top Priority–Prepare delicious food
How can you bring your own favourite food to a picnic? The dog’s share of snacks should also be prepared with care! Picnic food should satisfy your taste and take into account the needs of the pup. You can prepare some dog-friendly snacks, such as unsalted chicken, beef, turkey cutlets, pet cake or pet sushi. Remember to bring along special bowls for dogs to make it easier for them to eat.
Bring plenty of water
It’s important to stay hydrated when you’re outdoors. Bring plenty of drinking water, not only for yourself, but for your dog as well. Consider bringing a portable water bowl or bottle to keep your dog hydrated at all times.
Take recreational and safety equipment
To keep your dog active even during a picnic, bring along their favourite toys such as a ball or chew toy. These toys will keep them excited and enhance your interaction. Don’t forget to check that your dog’s collar and leash are secure to ensure their safety during the picnic. Also, some basic first aid supplies such as band-aids and antiseptic are also essential!
Do a good cleaning and hygiene
When the picnic is over, remember to clean up the site and take away all rubbish and clean away dog poop. Besides helping your campsite stay litter- and critter-free, you’re also doing your part to preserve the environment for other campers and outdoor lovers.
Finally, don’t forget to enjoy the sunshine and fresh air. Find a comfortable place to sit and enjoy the peace and beauty of nature with your dog. Remember, the most important thing is to spend cozy time with your pet and enjoy each other’s company.
