Why We Love National Puppy Day
A. They’re Great Listeners
Puppies are a judge-free, guilt-free zone. No matter how big or how small the problem, they’re always there to comfort and lick your problems away.
B. They Sniff Out Health Problems
Studies show that babies raised in close contact with a puppy get sick less often than those who aren’t. Not only do they help build up our immune system against allergens but their strong sense of empathy promotes a stress-free, nurturing environment. Puppies can help shed and sniff your way to better health.
C. They Keep Us Active and Stress-Free
Let’s face it, puppies can be a handful, but chasing them has surprising health benefits. They keep us constantly exercising, which helps reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. Who knew puppies could help us revamp our workout routine?
How to Celebrate National Puppy Day
1. Teach your pup a new trick
In their young age, puppies are always open to new things and teaching a trick can be a great learning experience for both of you. Activities like these can help further develop your puppy’s social skills and even strengthen your companionship—your pup will enjoy the extra treats along the way too!
2. Pamper your pup
Sometimes your pup is worthy of a 5-star spa treatment. Start with a bubble bath and end with a grooming session to bring out their baby soft coat. An extra belly rub can’t hurt too—your pooch will be sure to thank you later!
3. Look at photos and videos of adorable puppies
Puppies are always the best medicine, no matter your state of mind. There are so many you might be at it for a while.
