Set the Mood for Relaxation

Before diving into the spa treatments, set the scene for a serene spa day. Light some calming, pet-safe candles, play some soothing music, and gather all your spa essentials. Opt for a plush robe for you and a comfy, dog-friendly loungewear set for your pup โ€“ yes, matching is highly encouraged!

DIY Dog-Safe Facials

Facials arenโ€™t just for humans โ€“ your pup can enjoy one too! Hereโ€™s a simple, dog-safe facial recipe:

  • Ingredients:

    • 1 tablespoon of organic coconut oil

    • 1 teaspoon of chamomile tea (cooled)

    • 1 teaspoon of oatmeal (ground to a fine powder)

  • Instructions:

    • Mix the coconut oil, chamomile tea, and oatmeal until it forms a smooth paste.

    • Gently apply the paste to your dogโ€™s face, avoiding the eyes and nose.

    • Let it sit for 5-10 minutes while giving your pup some soothing ear scratches.

    • Rinse off with warm water and pat dry.

Relaxing Baths for Both of You

Now, itโ€™s bath time! While you enjoy a calming soak with your favorite bath salts, treat your pup to a luxurious bath with a gentle, dog-safe shampoo. Hereโ€™s how to make the experience extra special:

  • Use lukewarm water โ€“ not too hot, not too cold.

  • Add a few drops of lavender oil to your bath for a calming effect โ€” For your pup, stick to a dog-safe lavender shampoo to avoid skin irritation.

  • After the bath โ€” wrap your pup in a plush towel and dry them off while you relax in your own robe.

Cozy Matching Loungewear

After all that pampering, itโ€™s time to get cozy. Slip into your favorite loungewear and dress your pup in a soft, matching set. Not only will you both feel extra snug, but it also makes for an adorable photo op!

At-Home Pawdicure

No spa day is complete without a little nail care. Hereโ€™s a simple at-home pawdicure routine:

  • Start by trimming your pupโ€™s nails using a pet-safe nail clipper.

  • Gently file the edges to smooth out any rough spots.

  • Apply a nourishing paw balm to keep their paw pads soft and moisturized.

Ending the Spa Day with Snuggles

Finish the spa day with some cozy cuddle time. Share a soft blanket, enjoy some relaxing music, and maybe even a Pup Corn Plus treat for your furry friend. After all, self-care is all about feeling good โ€“ for both of you!
