Tips for Making Your Dog Feel Adored, Loved and Pampered. Dog clothes, special walks, unique pet toys and even a gentle grooming session can all demonstrate your love and affection for your best friend.

In the spirit of Valentine's Day and showing your love for those you care most for, why not include man's best friend? Dog's show humans unconditional love all year long. When you come home from work, when you wake up or even when you re-enter a room, they are always happy to see you. I can't remember the last time I was greeted as warmly by a person as I am daily by my dog. Canine greetings come so warmly and affectionately that it only takes a wag of the tail to make our hearts melt and feel loved. So it makes sense that we would include them in our expressions of love and affection on Valentine's Day in addition to all our two legged loved ones.

Like any relationship, winning over your dog's love and loyalty takes time, commitment and lots and lots of affection. The reward is far worth the time and effort it takes, for both you and your dog. With the popularity of new shows and books like the Dog Whisperer and How to Be Your Dog's Best Friend and many others, dogs are finally getting more of the love and respect that they deserve.

We can't really tell our pets how much we love them with cards, flowers and chocolates and if you are a fan of Cesar, you know he'd probably scold you just for thinking about it. But there are many gifts that show our pets just how much they mean to us and don't necessarily compromise the roles and boundaries needed to have a healthy relationship.

Simple things like a special bath, a new toy, or even a collection of love themed dog clothes can show your dog that your heart holds a special place for her. Even a new bandana can make your pup sit a little taller. It's not so much that your dog can understand the nature of the gift per se, but dogs can read our faces, expressions and moods. If we smile at them every time we pass him in his new cupid's tee, he's going to respond positively to the warm and welcoming vibe that you're sending to him.

In addition to giving your dog a token of love, it's important to set aside some time just for him, or make it a priority to include her in your festivities. Now this does not mean romance your dog, I'm simply suggesting spend quality time. Go for a long walk and take the time to play. Dogs love when we connect with them on there level just as much as they want to be near and connect with us on ours.

The perfect start to a love filled day would be a gentle bath, a little grooming followed by a delicious treat. While you're at it you can have her help you get excited for your romantic plans by donning her in a set of designer dog clothes fit for the holiday.
