10 Ways to Spoil Your Dog
Written By Kassidy Emmerson
Ask my family and friends and they'll tell you that I spoil my pets. I don't consider the care I give to my dogs and cats to be "spoiling" them. Instead, I consider any "excess" care to be "pampering." I say the two words can't be interchanged. Other dog owners who also give their pets "special care" agree. Afterall, dogs have always held the esteemed position of being "man's best friend". Nowadays, many dogs even hold the honor of being "one of the family." Whichever way you view it, read this interesting article and find out "10 Ways to Spoil Your Dog!"
1. Buy Him/Her Designer Shoes- No Other Brands Will Do!
I owned a Terrier once, and she hated to get her feet wet. So, I visited a doggie boutique and bought her a pair- or is it considered two pairs?- of tennis shoes. I'll never forget the name brand of the pricey footwear, it was "Rebarks."
2. Designer Clothing Makes the Dog
Another way to spoil your dog is to buy him/her designer dog clothing, including coats and jackets. My dog Lady got cold easily. So I bought her a jacket with an attached hood, a little winter parka, and a pink dog sweater. She didn't mind wearing the apparel, and I'm sure it did help keep her warm when she went outside.
3. Dog Bling Bling Will Help Them Strut Their Stuff
Just like their human owners, dogs need plenty to be adorned with plenty of bling bling. How could your dog hold its head up high around the neighborhood without wearing flashy jewelry? This is a great way to spoil your dog and show them off at the same time!
4. Take Them On Trips to Dairy Queen
Everytime my family and I piled into the car to head off to Dairy Queen on a hot, summer night, Lady always went along. And while we enjoyed our ice cream cones, sundaes and milk shakes, she happily slurped on a baby serving of vanilla ice cream.
5. Throw Your Dog Elaborate Birthday Parties
One of the best ways you can spoil your dog is to throw him/her an elaborate birthday party every year. First, set a date for the celebration. Then, invite ten or twelve of your dog's best friends, whether they be human or canine. Serve a Scooby-Doo cake molded out of canned dog food- only Eukanuba or Iams brands, please. Along with the cake, satisfy your dog's sweet tooth by serving Frosty Paws Brand Ice Cream.
6. Buy Him/Her Their Own Designer Dog Bed
If your dog sleeps with you every night, and s/he steals your pillow and tries to sleep in the middle of the bed, spoil them by buying them their own designer dog bed. Dog beds come in many colors and styles. Just be sure the color you choose complements your dog's coat.
7. Dog Day Care Tends to Your Dog's Needs While You're Away
No spoiled dog is left home alone all day while you're away. No sir! To spoil your dog, you must enroll him/her in a dog day care center. That way, s/he will be fed three meals a day, exercised and played with during your absence.
8. No Spoiled Dog Drinks Tap Water
Another way to spoil your dog is to serve it bottled water. You should order cases of water from a web site like K9 Water Co., Inc. This company offers four vitamin-enriched flavors your dog will love: Toilet Water, Puddle Water, Hose Water and Gutter Water.
9. Leave Your Estate to Your Dog
This is my favorite way to spoil your dog. Although, if Lady had outlived me, I'm afraid her inheritance would have been scant. She just didn't pick the right owner. On the other hand, according to www.nydailynews.com, actress and animal activist Betty White's will leaves $5 million to her pets. And www.boston.com reports that billionaire Oprah Winfrey has a $30 million trust fund set up for her beloved dogs.

10. Home-Baked, All Natural Dog Treats
And finally, to truly spoil your dog, give him/her only home-baked, all natural dog treats. I did bake dog treats for Lady a few times. But, wouldn't you know it, she preferred store-bought treats instead.
