Every dog has its day. All pets deserve a taste of indulgence from time to time, and pampering your dog cements the unique bond you share with them.
So, sit back and relax together as we share our dog spa day ideas and give you tips on all the luxury pet products you need to make the occasion extra special.
Setting the Mood For DIY Dog Grooming
Start your dog spa day with a long, brisk walk that includes plenty of fun along the way. Let your dog play their favourite outdoor games and get them well and truly exhausted as relaxing treatments work best on weary muscles.
Prepare a spa area in a place you know your dog finds comfortable. Carefully select the music for the right ambience. Dogs tend to find classical music calming, but reggae and soft rock are good choices, too.
Mix up the tunes, as dogs can get easily bored and zone out. Make sure you have all the doggie tools and luxury pet products you need at hand.
Pampering Your Dog With a Massage
The best dog spa day ideas always include a massage. They may sound indulgent, but massages can benefit your pets mental and physical well-being. They can reduce anxiety and stress, boost circulation, decrease pain and strengthen the bond you share with your dog.
Begin with gentle circular motions at the top of your dogs head. Work your way down to their shoulders. Pay attention to your dogs reactions and adjust the strength you use in your hands accordingly. Continue massaging through the rest of their body, even if they insist on the occasional tummy rub.
You can incorporate a massage during and in between these dog spa day ideas.
Bathing with the Right Dog Shampoo and Dog Conditioner
It’s vital to use high-quality and natural products to keep your dog’s skin and coat healthy. Gentle yet effective, Plush Puppy’s Natural All Purpose Shampoo is an ideal choice to begin with when pampering your dog. Next up, get some moisture and nourishment into their coat with Plush Puppy’s Natural Silk Protein Conditioner.

Cleansing Facial Massage
Your dog spa day should include particular attention to facial care. It’s vital for those prone to tear stains or skin problems. Plush Puppy’s Let’s Face It is ideal for massaging and cleansing folds and creases. It works as a gentle ear cleaner too.
Rehydrating Your Dog’s Coat and Skin
No list of dog spa day ideas would be complete without oils to replenish coats and skin. Have Plush Puppy’s Seabreeze Oil on hand. It conditions and shines. Plush Puppy’s Reviva Coat is a unique “leave-in” moisturising foam.
A Fresh and Lasting Smell
Last but not least, you’ll need to ensure you replace those stubborn doggie smells with a pleasanter odour. Its the moment to apply Plush Puppy’s Odour Muncher. It not only kills the bacteria that can cause odours but leaves coats smelling fresh and clean.
