How to celebrate your dog this Valentine’s month
18 February 2025Community
How can I show my dog that I love them?
They say love is a four-legged word, so since February is the official month of love it's only natural that we take a moment to celebrate the love and devotion we share with our dogs.
There are endless ways we show love to our four-legged friends, whether it’s letting them sleep on your side of the bed, going an extra mile during walkies, or even investing in their health by choosing a nutritious diet.
In fact, there are so many different ways to show our devotion, we asked our dog-loving team what it means to them. Read below for some of our favourites.
Keeley from our Customer Delight team says "Being devoted to my dog means showing them unconditional love, care, and companionship every single day. It’s about understanding their needs, celebrating their joys, and comforting them in their fears. It means putting their well-being first, making time for adventures together, and creating a bond built on trust and loyalty. My dog is not just a pet—he’s family, and my devotion to him is a promise to always be there, through every wag, woof, and cuddle.”
Nia from our Marketing team says "Being devoted to my dog, Bobby, means loving him even when he’s just dug up the garden and left muddy paw prints all over the house - because somehow, I can never truly be mad. It means that no matter where I go, I’m always looking forward to coming home to his wagging tail and endless excitement. And it means knowing that, no matter what kind of day I’ve had, he’ll always be there - loyal, loving, and by my side, just as devoted to me as I am to him."
Lisa from our Operations team says this "Being devoted to my dog means being committed to ensuring Arlo lives a happy and healthy life that’s full of adventures. It’s showing her unconditional love, companionship, and unwavering loyalty every day as she does with me. It’s giving her the best spot on the sofa and ensuring there is an endless supply of treats and toys in the house, it’s having the privilege of knowing Arlo will always be by my side and how grateful I am to be a part of her life."
How to spread the love in your local community
There’s nothing better than spreading the love, so we took to the streets of Shrewsbury on our latest community dog walk, Walk & Talk, to do just that. The lucky four-legged attendees walked away with some of our limited-edition Love Your Digestion treats and enjoyed an endless supply of scratches and cuddles from our team. Despite the rainy weather, the humans in the group enjoyed a gentle stroll around the beautiful Quarry park, a Valentine’s card, and a warming coffee on us. Our team wanted to spread the love to the rest of our community by handing out some very special roses and treats to dog walkers passing by, which certainly brightened up their Saturday mornings!
What is a Walk & Talk event?
Our Walk & Talks are community dog walks that we run in Shrewsbury town centre. It’s free to come along and they’re a great way to meet like-minded dog owners in the area. You’ll also receive some freebies on the day, such as some delicious treats for your pup and a warming hot drink for yourself (which comes in handy in this chilly weather!). If you’d like to come along to our next Walk & Talk, join our Facebook group Devoted to Dogs and be the first to find all the details.
If you have a question for our team, get in touch at feedme@differentdog.com or call us on 01743 384 562.
