For pet parents like us, it’s difficult to leave our fur-babies behind when we go out on a date or have fun with friends.

Fortunately, there are lots of fun and romantic places you can bring your date and your pet with you.

If you’re lucky to be dating someone with a pet too, why not make it a double date between you and your pets?

Check out these exciting pet-friendly date ideas you can try on the day of hearts:

A picnic in a pet-friendly park 

A picnic at a local park can be a fun way to bond with your significant other while appreciating the beautiful scenery.  

Pack up some delicious sandwiches, bite-sized fruits, cheese and crackers, and other munchies that you and your partner can enjoy. You can also spice things up with a bottle of wine to complement your meal.

When taking your pets with you, remember to pack things that they may need, like a leash, a poop bag, and a jug of drinking water.

Make the picnic a special experience for your pets as well by bringing along their favorite dry kibble.

Give them Wishbone Pasture – a grain-free pet food made with free-range New Zealand lamb. With Wishbone Pasture Dog and Wishbone Pasture Cat, let your pets savor the robust flavors of lamb mixed with fresh fish, sweet berries, tropical papayas and mangoes, and aromatic herbs.

Shop for your date and your fur-babies

Many shopping malls and entertainment complexes in the United States now allow pets in their premises. So instead of leaving your pets locked inside the car (which is illegal in some states, mind you), keep them on a leash and bring them along as you shop for gifts with your special someone.

Visit restaurants with special menus for pets

Yes, you read that right! Now, there are restaurants that offer food items for your pets. These pet-friendly restaurants have open patios and al fresco dining areas where dogs and cats are invited to eat with their pet parents or family.

 

From fast food to gourmet-style meals, there are lots of food options for you, your date and your pets to try!

Go on a hiking date

For the adventurous couple, hiking can be a great way to enjoy beautiful surroundings, to physically challenge yourselves and to strengthen bonds as you talk and help each other along the trail.

Taking your pets with you can make the hike more fun and interesting. This can lead to more conversation topics and can put a smile on the faces of people you encounter as you hike.

Active dogs with lots of stamina can accompany you for hikes, but before you drag your fur-baby along, read these tips for a fun and safe hike with your dog. These pet-friendly restaurants have open patios and al fresco dining areas where dogs and cats are invited to eat with their pet parents or family.

Indoor movie night

For a relaxing date with lots of cuddles (with your date and your pet), a movie night on a cozy couch sounds like a perfect idea.

Put on a rom-com classic to create a warm, homey atmosphere – or choose a horror B-movie favorite to encourage more snuggle time beside your partner and pet whenever you’re terrified.

You can also try to impress your date by whipping up these easy and delicious gourmet duck recipes for dinner, before you start your movie date.  

Don’t forget to give your pet something special to eat as well, like Wishbone Lake – gourmet-style dry dog food is made of cage-free New Zealand duck, fresh fish, crisp fruits, and healthy herbs for a satisfying meal that’s full of flavor.

Wishbone is hypoallergenic, is grain-free and is inspired by gourmet, farm-to-table recipes.

With recipes available for dogs and cats, Wishbone contains no corn, fillers, soy, wheat, by-products, artificial colors, preservatives, or flavorings.
