7 Ways to Celebrate Your Dog
I love finding any reason to celebrate and party. With National Dog Week this week (Sept 18-24) I’ve decided to plan a few fun activities celebrating Gunner, my chocolate lab. Whether you’re celebrating your furry friend’s birthday, National Dog week, a holiday, or just because, these 7 activities are sure to get those tails wagging!
I received samples and compensation in聽exchange for this post. All opinions are my own.聽
7 Ways to Celebrate Your Dog
1. Go on a special trip. My dog is always happiest when we take him to his favorite places. A few of those include the dog park, mountain biking with my husband, or running through the field across from our house.
2. Throw a party. Invite over your dog’s friends, play a few dog games (fetch, obstacle course, finding treats), have some dog cake, and enjoy your time together.
3. Take聽photos. Set up a photo booth with costumes, sunglasses, hats, etc. Have a fun afternoon taking pictures of and with your furry friend.
4. Extra attention:聽Spend extra time with your dog, give them belly rubs, give them a bath, talk to them.
5.Wrap a gift. Every year for Gunner’s birthday, we wrap a giant bone and give it to him. Part of the joy and thrill of a gift is unwrapping it himself.
6. Go on a car ride. If my dog even hears the words “car ride” his tail automatically starts wagging. Go for a car ride, roll down the windows, and enjoy seeing your dog in his element.
7. Provide a special meal. Beneful recently conducted a survey among dog owners as to which activities make their dogs happiest. 95% of dog owners agreed that their dogs were happiest during mealtime. Giving your furry friend Beneful’s delicious Dry Dog Food is a great way to help maintain a healthy and happy dog!
Beneful wants to make sure that your dog gets the most out of each mealtime, which is why Beneful has created new dog food recipes with REAL meat! That’s right, real beef, chicken, and salmon are now Beneful’s #1 ingredient in dog food. Talk about a delicious and nutritious way to celebrate your best friend.
We love Beneful! And dog food can get quite expensive.
I love all of these ideas to celebrate. I have 3 dogs who I love with all of my heart
Our picky dogs love Beneful.
We have never tried Beneful Dog Food for my dog. I love the idea of celebrating my dog through all these special ways and feeding him a good quality food would do this too.
This is really a high quality dog food!
To win a year supply of dog food would certainly be a blessing after the year I have had with cancer and all of the bills. I sure could use this for my dog. Kyla has never tried Beneful before but I am sure she would love it as she loves to eat.
My dogs love Beneful and I love how affordable it is!
Beneful is my dog Remington’s favorite food so he says ‘Thanks’ for the chance to win some!
My dogs Marley and Colby love Beneful and this would be a blessing to win.

This would be perfect with the beast of the pup that we have. Thank you for the chance.
We’ve been feeding our rescues Beneful for over 2 years and they love it!
My boy has his paws crossed!
We’ve always had just one dog at a time, but earlier this year, we took the plunge and added a second dog to our household. He’s an older dog with health issues, and I couldn’t bear the thought that he was living in a crate at the shelter. Our original dog wasn’t thrilled to have to share his toys, beds, and food, but they get along. And yes, we celebrate them every day. A year’s supply of Baneful would be great for both of them! Thanks for this chance.
I think this would be wonderful, my dog has always eaten beneful since she was a pup, she turns 7 in a few days. We will be adding a new puppy, a rescue to our home on Sunday. Beneful is a brand I trust for my furry friends.
This would be wonderful for my budget. Our Malamute can go through some food!
This would keep our Ozzy (our beautiful black lab/border collie) happy all-year!
Our dog Roscoe is already a Beneful dog, so this would be awesome!
Thanks for the chance.
How fun! A favorite of my furry buddy’s.
Our baby dog looooves her Beneful!
our dog would love this we only have one right now but maybe more soon
I have two beautiful furbabies. They love Beneful and are considered to be the babies of the family.
My little dog loves to eat Beneful.
I would love to win this for ym two dogs. It is the only brand that we buy and they love it!
I could not figure out what kind of food our rescue pup would eat for the longest time. He would contantly pick at it and its became so stressful! My hubs suggested we try your brand and our pup finally eats again!! It would be awesome to win this for him
Our dogs love Purina Beneful dog food and treats. It’s what they’re eating now.
Great promotion would love to share this with a dog charity we support if we win. TY
My pup is very picky but she loves the Purina Beneful!
My dogs, Maggie and Tizzy would love some of this dog food. They love eating!
Our dog Noel is a English bull terrier mixed breed and she is just a nut.
It would just be awesome to get free dogfood for a year and Beneful is good stuff!
I love that your dogs love the dog park! My two little guys usually hide under the bench in the shade lol
so cute, there are so many great ways to celebrate your dog!
Oh I am so excited to try the new recipe! We have been talking about switching our dogs food, they do not seem to like it that well. This would be a great option! I love that I could do healthy for our senior..and the playful for our young labs!
I have two incredible dogs! They are my babies!
Gunner is soooo handsome! I want to hug him! I have a little alien pug who would love to play with Gunner. He thinks every creature on earth was put here to play with him…he is quite goofy. 馃檪 Oh, and he love Beneful…his brand of food.
We have a wonderful black cocker spaniel named Bailey James
he is our joy and happiness he is just a big love bug. He
is spoiled rotten but he is worth it, he would love the dog food.
My son has a black lab that I would love to win this for. He is a deputy sheriff, and she is his “partner” and works as a K-9 drug seeking dog.
oh how cute. lol and he looks so happy. lol.
My Dog loved to go on car rides. I was always looking for fun things for him to do as a treat.
Wow it would be fantastic to win a years worth of Beneful. These are great ways to celebrate your dog.
They really do love car rides! That’s such a fun way to treat them.
our dogs would love this! Our dogs are such a huge part of our family and so special to us!
Love the ideas! Pets are definitely another member of the family, how fun to celebrate them!
Dogs make the best friends. Thanks for the chance.
My sweet pup is getting up there in years. She’s almost 12! The kids would love to throw a party for her.
Oh Gunner! Nova misses you and needs a play date!
Love the activities! I might have to try a few with our dogs!!
Awww, makes me want to get a puppy! These are great suggestions. I will pass them on to my friends with dogs.
I don’t have a dog – we’re a cat family. Your dog looks so cute in his party hat. It’s fun to have a party for any family member – even the furry ones.
We own two dogs! They are my babies! I would love to win!
What a pretty dog! My dog Rocky is 9 and Ditsy is 8. Love them!
Dogs really are man’s and woman’s best friends. Yours is so beautiful and really see to be happy that you are celebrating how wonderful he is.
My dog loves Beneful dog food and I need to win this dog food for him. It would save me a lot of money
helpful tips
I love your pictures!
We are such dog-people in my family.
I would love to spoil my dog with food for a year!
Happy Birthday Gunner! We would always give our dog a special treat on her birthday and a special meal.
Our dog, Crosby, is a 3 year old black lab mix who we love to spoil. Now that he gets a monthly subscription box he thinks every box that comes in the mail is for him.
Happy National Dog Week, Gunner! We currently don’t have a dog but what great ways to make your dog feel special.
I would love to win this for my dogs
I cannot wait to get another dog to spoil. We are thinking about getting one around Christmas time again, it’s too quiet in your house without a dog I miss it.
We love our dogs so much. They are always cuddling with us on the couch, and my daughter likes to sneak them on to her bed and sleep with them. We give them birthday parties and make sure they have presents to unwrap on Christmas.
We adore our two little guys, and we shower attention on them every day. They are like two more children only fuzzier. I LOVE this post.
This is the same dog food we are giving our dog! She loves it and I love that meat is the first ingredient vs corn.
I have three dogs I love more than life itself. I have a sheltie, a pom and a big boxer girl. I could sure use some healthy additions to their diet.
I love this. Our dog actually passed away recently, but we ALWAYS did a lot for him when he was still here.
