Single. Day.)** [Tips & Tricks](https://www.petlandfairfield.com/category/blog/) # National Spoil Your Dog Day: Yes, They Deserve It (Every. Single. Day.) August 8, 2025 · 4 min read · Petland Fairfield, Ohio [Stay connected via Google News Follow us for the latest pet updates and guides.](https://www.google.com/preferences/source?q=petlandfairfield.com) **August 10** is **National Spoil Your Dog Day** (not that we needed an excuse!). But honestly, it’s the perfect moment to pause, look into those puppy-dog eyes, and ask ourselves the real question: Are we doing enough to celebrate the furry royalty living rent-free in our homes? (And also in our hearts. And on our couches. And sometimes on our pillows.) Because let’s face it: Your dog probably has a better daily routine than you. Regular walks, scheduled naps, organic treats, and a skincare regimen that involves paw balm and tear stain wipes. And guess what? They absolutely deserve every single second of it. This wag-worthy holiday is more than just a reason to shower your pup with extra belly rubs and guilt-free treats. It’s a reminder that our dogs aren’t just pets. They’re therapists, comedians, workout buddies, and full-time joy machines rolled into one gloriously fluffy package. And here’s the real kicker: Spoiling your dog is actually good for them. Science agrees. ## **The Science of Spoiling (No, Really)** Studies have shown that interacting with dogs – things like petting, playing, and talking to them like they’re fluent in English – boosts oxytocin levels in both you and your pup. Oxytocin is the “bonding hormone” responsible for all those warm fuzzies. Dogs who receive regular affection, stimulation, and positive reinforcement experience reduced anxiety, lower stress, and better cognitive function. Basically, a spoiled dog is a mentally healthy dog. And one who’s less likely to eat your shoes out of existential boredom. ## **What Does Spoiling Look Like?** Spoiling doesn’t have to mean crystal-studded collars (although, respect if you went there). It’s about the little luxuries that say, “You are loved.” Enjoying this read? You'll love our puppies. Adorable, vet-checked pups looking for their forever homes — available now. [Meet our puppies](https://www.petlandfairfield.com/puppies-for-sale/) Think: Surprise puppuccinos that end in whipped cream whiskers - Custom playlists titled “Vibes for My Velcro Dog” - Heated blankets (that somehow you’re no longer allowed to use) - Elaborate toy boxes they pretend they can’t open alone - Special meals cooked with more effort than your own dinner And don’t forget the hilarious spoiling rituals like turning the TV up so they don’t hear fireworks, or spelling out “W-A-L-K” because they absolutely know that word. We do these things not just because it’s cute, but because it brings them joy. And their joy is contagious. ### **Why They Deserve It, Every Day** Your dog shows up for you 24/7. We all know it’s true. They don’t care what you look like in the morning. They don’t judge your karaoke voice or late-night snacks. They’re just there, tail wagging, eyes sparkling, heart wide open. They love without conditions. They forgive without a grudge. They offer comfort, companionship, and comedy, all wrapped up in one wildly loyal (and usually fuzzy) package. Still reading?

I had been looking for months for a english bulldog with no luck unfortunately. As I was online I found this place. I was browsing through their pictures of available animals and applied to meet a dachshund puppy The next morning David called me to set up an appointment to meet her, he was super friendly and helpful. My family and I decided to go to Fairfield Petland and meet the puppy. As we were there looking at all the animals we saw a 13 week old female bulldog. Lisa the manger saw us looking at her and asked if we would like to meet her, of course we said yes. Celeste another wonderful employee went and got her and set us up in a room and we fell inlove instantly!!! Celeste, Lisa, David were truly gems they explained everything that they offer explain everything about the puppy even showed us for generations of her family, all vet records, and so much more!! Needless to say Nova is the new addition to our family we absolutely love her much and couldn't be happier!!! Thank you so much Petland and thank you again to the three wonderful individuals( Lisa, Celeste, David) that made our family whole with our new fur baby!!! ❤️ 🐶❤️🐾 Posted on Google Kevin Mabrey Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had visited shelter after shelter looking for a small dog to adopt. No luck. I visited Petland with no intention of purchasing. Youseff greeted me and at first, I was rather standoffish with him expecting a sales pitch, etc. He read me immediately and knew not to push it. He kept me interested and asked the right questions and told me the important aspects of adopting from Petland. Youseff is the diamond in the rough! He was very kind, understanding, patient, and all around a great person! If every retail location could have a young man like Youseff, they’d be dang LUCKY! Keep the great attitude, kid!!! You’re awesome at what you do!!! Cocoa and I thank you and commend you! Posted on Google Natalie Burlingham Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A massive thank you to Lisa and David! After a terrible experience at a nearby bird store, I arrived at Pet Land in low spirits but by the end of our visit I couldn't have been happier. My grandmother was looking to purchase a new bird and had a few questions about what she should be taking home. Lisa was extremely helpful in the process of helping her not only pick a bird that would be good for the companionship she was looking for but also took the time to help her pick toys, bedding, food, and anything else she needed. While Lisa was helping my grandmother, David was so kind in helping get me the information I needed to help her get her new friend set up. We had a fairly large purchase that would not fit in my car and David not only went out of his way to help me attempt to get everything loaded but when it didn't work he took the time to walk me through how to rebuild our new bird cage and then took everything apart and loaded it up. One thing that stood out to me was that as I was outside loading the car Lisa had noticed my grandmother looking a little tired and went out of her way to go get her a chair so she could rest while waiting. Happy to say the bird is doing well in its new home and we all could not be thankful enough for the kind service provided by Lisa and David! Posted on Google Jarryd Stump Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When we stopped in a week ago we had just lost 2 of our guinea pigs we had gotten from 2 other petlands in a couple of months. Celeste came over and asked if we had an questions and when I told her what happened she went and got Lisa. Lisa started asking us a bunch of questions and come to find out we weren't told everything or were mislead when we got our other 2. They have a program that if you do will guarantee your guinea pigs for up to 6 months instead of the normal 7 days. I think the other 2 petlands were trying to make a quick sale. Lisa gave us so much info that we ended up buying 2 male guinea pigs. Lisa and Celeste were so helpful! Plus they work with a local small animal vet that will give you your pets first visit free if you buy from this petland! Go in and see Lisa and Celeste for all your pet needs! Thank you again! Posted on Google Collie b Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I drove an hour and a half for their last two bunnies and they reserved them for me. Lisa and Ellen were amazing and super helpful about getting me not only the bunnies, but the supplies for them as well. My family feels complete with these two lovely bunnies. ```
