What’s the Best Valentine’s Day Gift for Your Pet According to It’s Love Language?
You might have heard of the 5 love languages. If you haven’t, it refers to the different ways different people give and receive love, and was conceptualised by Dr. Gary Chapman, a well-known marriage counsellor and director of marriage seminars.
Extremely helpful in promoting the expression of love between couples, the same can be applied to your pets, especially if you have a cat or dog! So without further ado, here are some presents to surprise your pet with according to their love language — they’ll definitely fall further in ruff (love) with you.
Love Language 1: Physical Touch

If your pet’s love language is physical touch, it should be a huge fan of cuddles, snuggles, and belly rubs! It will also brush up against you and lean on you often, and the best way to warm its heart is to give it a good long massage and scratches around the ears, face, and back.

For pets whose love language is words of affirmation, they will often show their love and affection for you vocally. Think happy meows, purrs, and barks! These pets also feel happiest when they hear praise from you, so make sure to shower them with plenty of verbal praises in a chirpy, high-pitched voice whenever they’ve completed a trick or followed a command.

Besides making great therapy pets, they also are likely to have acts of service as their love language, and you can often witness them excel in agility courses, complete fanciful tricks effortlessly, and maybe even help their hoomans run errands, like fetching the newspaper or throwing out the trash.

These can come in the form of a dead insect (it looks disgusting, but it’s a prized possession in your furry friend’s eyes) or a favourite toy covered in slobber (it’s full of saliva, but it’s also full of love and sincerity).
