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 – yes, matching is highly encouraged!

DIY Dog-Safe Facials

Facials aren’t just for humans – your pup can enjoy one too! Here’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 dog’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, it’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. Here’s how to make the experience extra special:

  • Use lukewarm water – not too hot, not too cold.

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

  • After the bath β€” 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, it’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. Here’s a simple at-home pawdicure routine:

  • Start by trimming your pup’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 – for both of you!
