Pet Appreciation Week!

This week is pet appreciation week and Neda Torabi, founder of Houndstone, has just the tips and fun ideas you need to celebrate like:

  • Give your pet an extra fun snack or surprise

Pick up your pet’s favorite treats at the store or take them to a local spot to get their own dog “ice cream.”

  • Take the time to ensure your pet is fully up to date on vet appointments and shots

You want to appreciate your pet for as long as you’re able, so take this week to get up to date on any appointments or shots, they’re overdue for!

  • Take your pet somewhere new

Change up your everyday walk route for somewhere new – whether that be a new park, a local beach to swim, a hike, or in the car with the window down. Your pet is sure to enjoy a change of scenery!

  • Have at-home pup spa 

Treat your pet to a “spa day” in the bath with relaxing music and be sure to check out Houndstone’s all natural and hypoallergenic canine shampoo to enhance this experience! 

  • Volunteer at a local animal shelter

If you don’t have a pet and would like to appreciate more than just one, check out your local shelter to see how you can help out or stop by and bring some needed products!

Share a Compliment and a Smile

Today is World Compliment day! With less focus on providing material representations of appreciation, this day is meant to cost absolutely nothing at all, so everyone can participate! So this day is a reminder to vocalize your positive thoughts and watch them light up a room! As it says on the World Compliment Day website: “If on March 1st every person pays at least three people in their environment or social network a genuine and sincere compliment we will definitely create the Most Positive Day in the World!” To read more about World Compliment day click HERE.

Today is also Share a Smile Day!! It’s a day that encourages us to be a little more joyful. Smiling doesn’t only have emotional benefits — it has a lot of health benefits too. It leads you to feel relaxed and happy. This in turn can reduce your blood pressure and stress levels, increase your endurance, and even strengthen your immune system. So if you don’t have a reason to smile, be the reason that someone else smiles and you might be surprised at how quickly you feel like smiling. To read more about the history of Share a Smile day click HERE.

We also shared some ways to make someone smile so here are a couple…

  • Take a friend out to lunch.
  • Let someone know you miss them.
  • Hold a door open for someone walking behind you.
  • Send a card to a friend letting them know what a good friend they are.
  • Tell someone close to you that you love them.
