Valentine's Day and pet lovers: figures that speak for themselves!

A recent survey of pet owners in the USA revealed some fun facts. Of 2000 Americans surveyed, 28% plan to spend Valentine's Day with their pet.

Of those surveyed, 39.5% of men and 31.76% of women plan to spoil their pets for Valentine's Day. 33% of survey participants plan to apply for time off work on February 14 to ensure their pet gets all the attention and affection it needs.

Another survey conducted by an online pet accessories store showed that one in five people would rather spend Valentine's Day with their pet than with their partner!

Whether you're spending Valentine's Day with your pet, a family member or your partner, the essential reason for this holiday is quite simply love.

Fun gift ideas for your pet's personality

Are you already thinking about gifts for your four-legged friend? Do you think he deserves a special gift for Valentine's Day? So to help you express your love for your favorite fur ball, here's a list of ideas - by no means exhaustive - for gifts and activities classified according to his personality and character:

Your pet has a sweet tooth

If meals are his favorite time of day, then opt for gifts that only a gourmand can appreciate:

A personalized pet bowl: Give your pet a personalized pet bowl with his name engraved, so he can eat out of a container that's all his own. If it's heart-shaped, red or pink, then you're right on theme!

Pet treats: Treat your pet to high-quality pet treats. Choose treats that respect his usual diet and are prepared with natural ingredients.

If you have the time, prepare them yourself. Here's a simple recipe for homemade treats for your pet:

Tuna cookies for cats and dogs

2/3 cup wholemeal flour
1 egg
Can of tuna in water
1 tablespoon water
A little flour to sprinkle on the work surface

Preheat oven to 180°C. Mix the egg, tuna and water in a food processor, then gradually add the flour. Place the dough on a floured work surface and roll out with a rolling pin. Using a heart-shaped cookie cutter or a glass, cut out the dough. Line the cookies up on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake for 15 minutes. Leave to cool before offering them to your beloved pet!

Your pet is a real geek

He's very interested in the devices around him, and likes to steal your smartphone or tablet, so there's no doubt that your pet is a Geek! Here's what to get him:

A connected automatic food dispenser: opt for a connected automatic kibble dispenser to feed him conveniently and automatically. Choose a model that can be programmed using your phone or an app.

GPS pet trackers: Give your pet a GPS pet tracker and always know where he is. This is particularly useful for pets that like to explore or have a tendency to escape.

A pet camera: Allows you to monitor and, above all, interact with your pet from a distance. Some pet cameras are equipped with features such as live streaming, voice recognition and remote control.

Your pet is a true fashionista

He loves to look good and has no problem dressing up or dressing down. He has his own wardrobe that changes with the seasons. To please him, choose from the ideas below:

Pet clothes: pet clothing designers compete in creativity. You'll find a wide choice, from simple T-shirts to coats and jackets, as well as suits for special occasions.

Pet accessories: bandanas, collars, leashes and hats can be an excellent option for a rather coquettish pet.

And don't forget to organize a photo shoot with your pet's new clothes or accessories, to keep the memories alive.

Your pet is very cocoon-like

He loves snuggling up on the sofa and being pampered and cuddled. You can't go wrong with a totally "cocooning" gift!

A "spa" day for your pet: plan a wellness day with a visit to the groomer for a bath, ear cleaning, "PETicure", teeth cleaning and finally a pet massage to help him relax.

A personalized comforter: offer him a comforter personalized with his name or even his photo. It gives him extra comfort and support while he sleeps.

Your pet is very active

He loves to play, and is downright tireless. Anything can become a toy for him: your slipper, the cushion in the living room, the scented candle, and so on. He often needs new games or activities. In this case, he makes it easy for you. A new toy or a long walk with a dynamic play session will keep him happy. Don't forget to introduce him to a new place other than his usual playpen.
