5 Tips for Giving Your Pet a Happy and Luxurious Life 

Many pet owners wonder if their pets are happy. Sure, you give them food and water, toys and love, but are you meeting all of their needs? Because they can’t tell you how they feel, it can be difficult to know. However, Supreme Paw Supply explains there are some strategies you can use to enrich your pets’ lives and give them a more luxurious existence with you.

1. Talk to Them

According to behavioral scientist Dr. Nicholas Epley, communicating with animals is a sign of intelligence. Your pet may not understand your language, but they do enjoy hearing you speak. When you talk to your dog, cat, or bearded dragon regularly, you may notice that they perk up when you say a word they recognize. This means your pet actively listens to you and may even find comfort in the lulling or buzzing vibrations of your voice.

2. Take Them With You

If your pets have an adventurous spirit, don’t leave them behind when you leave the house. If you work in a pet-friendly workplace, arrange to bring your best friend to work with you a few days a week so he or she won’t be lonely at home. If you travel often, ASPCA suggests considering road tripping and bringing your pet along. There are many happy dogs, cats, ferrets, and snakes who live the van life very successfully with their owners. With a little planning and practice, you and your loyal pet will be excellent travel buddies.

3. Keep Their Habitats Clean

You feel your best when your home is clean and clutter-free, and so does your pet. To give your pet the happiest and healthiest life possible:

• Clean and change bedding
• Remove waste and dispose of expired products
• Scrub food and water dishes
• Clean toys and enrichment items
• Maintain proper pH levels in aquatic tanks
• Replace birdcage linings regularly

4. Rotate Their Toys

Giving your pet toys is a wonderful way to show your love and provide mental stimulation. However, too many toys at once can become overwhelming and even stressful for your pet. Keep variety and prevent boredom by rotating toys.

Read online product reviews for any luxury toys you’re interested in purchasing. Customer reviews are important, but you should also look for toys that are endorsed by vets for their sensory benefits. Here’s a free resource for pet lovers that should be your go-to.

As you get to know your pets, you’ll learn about their specific preferences. Animal experts recommend different types of toys to meet the different sensory needs of domesticated pets. When choosing toys for your beloved best friend, take tips from animal trainers, behaviorists, and veterinarians. 

5. Take Care of You

When you’re feeling anxious or stressed, so does your pet. Therefore, it is essential to keep yourself well so you can take care of the other sentient beings in your home. Implement a personal self-care practice to manage your own mental and emotional health. Whether you take long walks with your dog in the woods or soak in a hot bath while your cat lounges nearby, take time to decompress so you can be a better pet parent.

Your pets deserve the best life you can give them. With these tips and a lot of love from you, there is no doubt your pet will feel like the luckiest creature in the world.
