Puppy's Life
The Gift of Friendship. Sometimes the best present is time together. By Paula Felps

In every friendship, spending time together plays an important (and enjoyable!) role that’s particularly true of the blossoming relationship between you and your puppy.

That smile, that belly flop, that thump-thump-thump greeting by a friendly tail—those are all gifts your puppy rewards you with. And what does he want most? You!

Share the fun with a gift or two along the way; maybe it’s a squeaky red ball for a surprise at the local bark park or a pup-pleasing rope toy you can toss and fetch. Keep things really exciting with a new plaything or gift that makes the most out of playtime:

  • Update your “soft” wares. A cozy blanket specially designed for puppy naps and quiet time with you is sure to be a hit, especially in the cooler months.
  • Sniff out the favorites. Puppies equate certain smells or objects to comfort and security—so the gifts you buy are more than just playthings; they are reminders of you! Want some great gift ideas for your puppy? Check out our toy roundup at www.beneful.com/Puppies-Life/Toys-Supplies.
  • Paws to shop. Most pet stores welcome you and your puppy. So here’s the fun part—you both get to play before you pay! As you sort through what toy, blanket, or ball works best, you’ll enjoy seeing his reaction as you both pick something out together.

It’s a way to bring happiness to both of you and create yet another memorable moment in the life that you’re going to share together.
