Puppy Love

February the 14th is Valentines Day, a time to spend with the people you love.

It's a day of roses, chocolates and romance, and more recently, a time to share with your furry friends. A recent survey in the US found that 43% of men and 30% of women prefer to spend Valentine's Day with their pet!

So we've come up with the top five ways to share the love with your pooch this Valentine's Day.

1.    Go on their favorite walk or take them to their favorite park. Every dog has a place they love the most, so this Valentine's Day, make the extra effort and take them to their happy place.

2.   Spoil them with a new squeaky toy, a lead, collar, bed or a food bowl, they really will appreciate it!

3.   Makeover magic. Whether you do it yourself or hand the reigns over to a professional, your pooch will feel great after some pampering. A wash and a new haircut will leave them feeling like a new dog!

4. Extra love and attention. Your dog doesn't wait for a special day to let you know he loves you, so show him how much he means to you with lots of extra pats and hugs and perhaps even a night on the couch!

5.   The quickest way to your dog's heart is through his stomach, so make sure you feed him something tasty like 4Legs new Home Cooked with Gravy in Turkey & Thyme or Lamb & Rosemary.
