Celebrate your pet

A guide to unlocking unconditional happiness

Preface: I thought I’ll let Cookie, my first dog, write my pilot blog! Hope you enjoy reading.

Hi, my name is Cookie, I am a 3 year old Indian mongrel. I was sent to this world with the purpose of helping humans celebrate their pets.

There is love in every human being. If you are one of those people who cuddles your pets, congratulations! You know how to celebrate a pet. Yes, it all starts with a cuddle. Isn’t it so comfy and relaxing to feel the warm fur against your skin?

Your pet has a personality

Just like human beings, pets also have unique characteristics and personality traits. Some are goofy while others may be protective or anxious. When you understand the behaviors and accept us for who we are, your relationship transforms magically! Celebrate your pet for who they are and try to guide them towards desirable behavior.

Exercise those pooch brains

Simple activities like hide and seek with your pet can boost the level of oxytocin aka the love hormone. So technically, the nicer you are, the more love hormones we release and biologically speaking, we end up loving you more! It’s also a great mental stimulation for pets if you engage them at different intervals, at least a couple of times, every day. My momma has some really cool DIY game ideas for your dogs and cats.

Memories bring back you (Maroon 5 style!)

Looking back at memories has got to be one of the best things I enjoy in life. Do a photo shoot with your pets. Hang some of those happy memory snaps on your walls or carry one in your wallet. At any point in life if you feel low, a glance at them will wipe all those worries away. My papa is a pet photographer in Hyderabad. He travels pan India for pet photo shoots.

Take us for a drive

Your company is what we enjoy the most. So anywhere we are together becomes the perfect place on earth. Also, everything about going for a drive is super cool. So don’t think twice, tag us along whenever you can. It’ll be fun, I promise! If you’re in/around Hyderabad, do contact us for suggestions on some cool places you can go on a drive with your pet.

Try baking a pooch-friendly cake

We thoroughly enjoy the baking process as we love to pester you and will try all sorts of techniques like puppy eyes, licking your feet, showing off tricks, just to make you drop some peanut butter off your spoon. Other than all that drama, baking a cake is a piece of cake! We’ll soon come up with a blog on making a pet-friendly cake at home.

Sniff therapy

Is your pet always sniffing around during walks? Well, that’s perfectly normal and it’s totally okay for pets to do so. In fact this will give them a better idea of what’s going on in their neighborhood and also make the walk more interesting and fun. Yeah, we can tell a lot by the smell. Oh! Fun fact – by the sense of smell, we can detect human emotions such as fear, anxiety and sadness. Pretty cool right?

In short, celebrating your pet means spending more time with them. Play with them, cuddle them, take them for rides, talk to them, train them and most importantly, try to understand them. If you haven’t done all of these with your pet yet, you are missing out on a lot in life.

    If I had to guess, I would say Cookie would be most interested in baking the cake, Lola in the mental stimulation, and Batty in the drive. All of them would definitely love the sniff therapy and agree to the photo shoot only if considerable number of treats are involved!!

      Haha true, I remember how cookie was so patient and happy when we did the ‘catch’ shoot with him 🙂

    Dear Cookie, can’t wait to meet y’all and cuddle you poochies! Miss you loads! Gotta bring along bagfuls of treatos to convince you guys for a photoshoot with us 💕

    1. Sabith

      Yesss! More than the treatos I guess they might eat you both out of excitement 😀

    Bring the puppers to Goa please. We’ll introduce them to the beaches. They’ll love it and it will also be a great photo op for you! Also, this is a great read. I know all about Cookie’s prowess in demanding pets and catching treats, but didn’t know he’s a budding writer too. Great job, Cooks! 🙃

      Goa trip with the whole pack is long overdue! I’ll go nuts with photoshoot, just waiting for that day. Also I so badly wanted to see Cookie’s reaction to beach and the sea. Why do I feel he’s going to be scared! 😛 😀
