Week 2: Make Mealtimes Fun
Nutrition is important, but there’s more to food than its health benefits. It’s also the chance to bond with your pet, sustaining both their body and spirit.
So this week, serve them a DIY recipe as a special treat. Whether you bake up some scrumptious cookies, fire up the grill for some pet-safe kebabs, or even mix them up a pet-friendly mocktail, one thing is certain: You’ll love watching them chow down on your homemade snack, and they’re sure to feel the love, too.
Week 3: Plan an Adventure
When it comes to making memories with your pet, there’s no time like the present. So go ahead, plan a fun, exciting experience for you both to share.
First, consider your pet's personality and abilities: Would they prefer exploring outdoors, or staying inside? To be surrounded by friends or one-on-one time with you? An active escape or a chill-out session?
Then, choose an activity to match, whether it’s a rugged hiking adventure, visiting a new park, or just some extra playtime with an intriguing new toy. No matter what you choose, you’ll have a blast as long as you’re together.
Week 4: Go Ahead—Spoil Them!
Admit it: You love splurging on your pet almost as much as they love the new toys and treats that come inside that blue box.
Well, we've got good news: Chewy’s making it extra easy to spoil them this month, with a ton of deals and discounts perfect for celebrating the awesome animals in your life.
