At Four Paws Place, we love any excuse to celebrate with our furry friends, and July 22nd gives us not one, but two reasons to enjoy: National Mango Day and National Hammock Day! Hereโs how you and your pets can make the most of these fun holidays.
National Mango Day: Sweet Treats for Everyone
Mangoes are a delicious summer fruit that can also be enjoyed by pets in moderation. Packed with vitamins A, B6, C, and E, mangoes provide a healthy and tasty treat for both humans and animals. Here are some ideas to include mango in your petโs diet:
๐พFrozen Mango Treats:
Cut mango into small pieces and freeze them. These make a refreshing snack for your pet on a hot day.
๐พMango Smoothies:
Blend mango with some plain, unsweetened yogurt and a bit of water. Pour the mixture into ice cube trays and freeze for a delightful, pet-friendly smoothie.
๐พMango and Banana Mix:
Combine mango chunks with banana slices for a sweet, nutrient-packed snack that your pet will love.
Always remember to remove the skin and pit, as these parts can be harmful to pets.
National Hammock Day: Relaxation in Style
Thereโs nothing quite like lounging in a hammock on a warm summer day, and your pets can join in the fun too! Whether youโre relaxing in your backyard or on a camping trip, here are some tips to make your hammock time pet-friendly:
๐พPet-Friendly Hammocks:
Invest in a durable, pet-safe hammock that can comfortably hold you and your pet. Many hammocks are designed to withstand pet claws and are easy to clean.
Hammock Safety:
Ensure your hammock is securely fastened and at a low height to prevent any falls. Supervise your pets while theyโre in the hammock to keep them safe and comfortable.
๐พCozy Hammock Setup:
Add some of your petโs favorite blankets or a pet bed to the hammock for added comfort. This can make them feel more secure and relaxed.
๐พHammock Playtime:
Bring along some toys and treats to make hammock time interactive and fun. Itโs a great way to bond and enjoy the outdoors together.
Combining Mangoes and Hammocks: The Ultimate Summer Day
Why not combine these two celebrations for a perfect summer day? Set up your hammock in a shady spot, enjoy some mango treats with your pet, and relax together. Itโs a wonderful way to create lasting memories and enjoy the simple pleasures of life.
By celebrating National Mango Day and National Hammock Day with your pets, you can enjoy the best of summer together. Whether youโre indulging in sweet mango treats or relaxing in a cozy hammock, these special days are all about savoring the joys of the season with your furry companions.
