6 ways to love your pet with American Legend Homes

Today is a day of love and celebration! It’s National Love Your Pet Day! The majority of households in America have at least one pet. Most people think of a dog or cat when they think about pets but there are many people who choose bunnies, reptiles, birds or hamsters as their friendly companions. Whatever kind of pet you have, today is the day to show them a little extra love. Here are six ways you can observe National Love Your Pet Day from American Legend Homes:  

Extra treats: If there was ever a day that your pet deserves their favorite treats, today is the day! Let them know how much you love them with a little extra affirmation. One of the best ways to do that is with their favorite little snacks throughout the day! 

A long walk: Many American Legend communities have trail systems that are perfect for a long walk. Canyon Falls, for example, has three miles of natural surface trails winding through hundreds of acres of preserved open space and rolling bluffs, and another 11-plus miles of paved trails through garden-like parks and shady groves. 

Pamper time: Take your four-legged baby for a bath and groom. The Castle Hills community has a doggie daycare and groomer right in the community! American Pup Culture offers both indoor and outdoor space for running around and a variety of grooming services. 

A day at the park: Most of our communities were designed with onsite parks and an abundance of green space, which are perfect for throwing a frisbee or tossing a tennis ball. Star Trail, for example, has a large park and green space bordering its trail system as well as The Park at Star Trace. Wildridge has The Nook and Echo Park.

Toy time: Today is the perfect day to throw away any toys that may be old and torn up and get them a new toy to play with! They will have so much playing with their new toy that they won’t even notice the old one is gone! 

Cuddle sessions: Spend a little extra time with your pet today showing them some much-needed physical attention! Belly scratches, full-body massages and lots of kisses will let your little friend know just how much you love them. 

Cats need love, too: Show your kitty extra love today by just letting them continue to feel superior. And by maybe giving them a few special items on the counter to knock onto the floor. That will make them very happy. 

Just as much as our pets love us, we love them! National Love Your Pet Day is a great time to remind them just how much they mean to you. American Legend Homes can’t wait to see how you spoil your pet today!
