Dog Party Day is coming up June 21st. After a long year of lockdowns and quarantines, many people are really planning to make the most of this summer, and reunite with friends and family they haven’t seen in a while. A dog party is a great way to do that! A Georgetown, IN vet lists some reasons why in this article.

Socialization

Dogs are very social animals by nature. In the wild, Fido would spend all of his time with his pack, and would rarely be left alone. Giving your canine companion a chance to play with other dogs will be very beneficial. Socialization is very important for puppies.  This may be particularly helpful for pooches that didn’t see their buddies very much last year, and also in some cases for newly-adopted dogs.

Activity

Our furry friends need proper activity, just as people do. Fido will really benefit from being able to run around and play with his buddies. This is great for energetic, active pups. When you get home again, your canine pal will probably be more interested in taking  a nap than in chasing the cat around. This is one reason doggy daycares are becoming so popular!

Stimulation

Dog parties also offer our canine buddies beneficial mental stimulation. Set out some fun toys for your four-legged guests. Kiddie pools, sprinklers, and sandboxes are all good options. You can even get a mechanical ball launcher. (Note: these are not safe for large breeds, as they can be choking risks.)

Manners

If you have a young dog, puppy parties are also beneficial for another reason. Fido can learn quite a bit about how to be a Good Boy by observing and interacting with other polite dogs. Make sure to only invite friendly, well-behaved pooches.

It’s Cute

Watching dogs hard at play with their buddies will definitely put a smile on your face. Offer lots of toys for your four-legged pals to play with. Get a variety of things, as pups all have their own tastes. 

Good Times

Hanging out with your friends and some cute, playful pups is a perfect way to relax on a summer afternoon. Just make sure all of your furry guests are fixed, microchipped, and current on their parasite control.
