8 things to do with your dog in spring

You can't even imagine the number of things you can do with your dog during the spring. So, if you're looking for inspiration for fun plans together, here are the 8 best things to do with your dog in spring:

1) Go on vacation

The first plan we suggest for enjoying time with your pet is going on vacation with your dog. In spring, we have the Easter holidays available for a short getaway, so you can do something different with your dog, taking him or her with you in the car or on public transportation.

This isn't crazy at all—quite the opposite, because there are even Facebook groups and Twitter accounts that organize meetups and group outings and trips with animals.

Also, keep in mind that more and more accommodations are allowing pets; so now all you have to do is plan the place, and your pet will be happy to go with you.

2) Eat out

Spring is synonymous with bar terraces; So, if you want to go out for tapas with your dog, you'll be able to do that too. Plus, there are bars and restaurants that even offer a menu for them.

On the SrPerro website, you can check out all the bars and restaurants that have dog-friendly menus. You'll be surprised! A unique plan to try in spring and summer.

3) Getting Married

Many people see their dog as their child, so they don't hesitate to bring it to their wedding. Since it's one of the happiest moments of their lives, it's only natural for the pet to be there during the ceremony. Plus, they can be an attendant and also carry the wedding ring.

There's even a company specializing in this service, Wedding Dog Sitter, that sends an attendant to the ceremony to look after the animal.

So, if you're planning to say "I do" soon and you have a dog, know that you can bring it to your wedding. It's your day, and you decide. Think about how amazing the photos will be!

4) Practice Doga

We're referring to doga, not yoga. This concept is born from the union of dog and yoga; it is a common practice in some countries in Europe, the US, and Asia.

Through doga, both owners and dogs can enjoy all its benefits, both physical and psychological. It's a matter of adapting the exercises so they can practice them equally.

Suzi Teitleman is one of the pioneers of doga. And do you know how she decided to embrace this trend? She saw that her dog, Coli, was attentive and imitating her daily positions; that's why she decided to take on the challenge and invest in doga. Furthermore, she points out, "Doga is the energy that the owner gives to the dog and that the dog gives back."

5) Go for a run or participate in popular races

Exercise is practically mandatory with dogs. And for this, there are popular races.

There are charity events and also competitions for the most demanding audiences; so you can participate in all kinds of competitions with your pet.

Some of the most common activities to do with dogs are trail running, bikejoring, canicross, and mushing. These activities not only provide exercise together, but also strengthen the bond between dog and owner.

6) Go Shopping

Going shopping with your dog is an activity that helps both owner and pet spend more time together. However, it depends a lot on the animal's temperament, as it could become overwhelmed.

There is a website called Mascotas Bienvenidas (Pets Welcome) that tells you which dog-friendly stores you can visit with your dog.

And when we talk about shopping, we don't just mean clothing stores; there are also book stores that allow dogs, as well as other types of stores.

7) Going to Work with Your Dog

While it's true that going to work with your dog is uncommon in Spain, it's more common in the US.

Many companies, such as Google and Amazon, among others, allow their employees to bring their dogs to work. The reason? It's been proven that their company reduces work stress, calms owners, and increases self-esteem, as well as employee productivity.

There are even companies that celebrate June 24th as Take Your Dog To Work Today Day, to emphasize its importance.

This trend may eventually reach Spain sooner or later. Because if it has as many benefits as experts point out, we'll soon see it implemented to make us happier and more productive at work.

8) Make friends or something more

There are very interesting apps like Animalear, through which owners can contact and meet new people, go places with their dog, organize group get-togethers, etc.

And the fact is that taking your pet for a walk can lead to new friendships, which greatly encourages the exchange of personal relationships and helps you get out of your comfort zone.

So if you want to discover a new way to flirt or make friends with the help of your dog, you can check out the app we recommend. Although there are many other similar options.
