🌿 Staycation with Your Four-Legged Friend: How to turn staying home into a summer celebration

Summer doesn’t have to mean traveling. Sometimes, home is exactly where you find the most peace, especially with a wagging tail by your side. Whether you’re spending a quiet summer in your own garden, on a balcony overlooking the street, or in a breezy apartment with open windows: your staycation turns into a summer celebration the moment you share it with your four-legged friend. Because let’s be honest: to your dog, you’re always the favourite destination.

🧊 1. DIY Summer Fun: From frozen treats to water games

Treat your dog to a homemade frozen snack, like yogurt with apple or berry pieces, frozen in a silicone mold. Got a garden or terrace? Fill a large bowl with water and a few toys for some splashy fun. Or let your dog catch ice cubes on the patio, the clinking on the tiles and that surprised look? Guaranteed joy and cooling down.       

☀️ 2. Set up a summery lounge spot (for both of you)

Turn your garden or balcony into a mini oasis. Place a dog cushion in a cool, shady spot, add a parasol or a plant, and settle in with a book, sunglasses, and a refreshing drink.
Maybe the air smells like mint or lavender, birds are singing, and your dog is stretched out napping beside you.
Comfort is for everyone, especially in the summer months.

🐾 3. Micro-adventures in the neighborhood

A staycation is the perfect time to discover new spots together in your own neighborhood.
A park you usually skip, a country path at sunset, or simply a new route on your daily walk.
Small change, big joy, especially when it ends with a good sniff on unfamiliar ground.

🍹 4. Apéro with your dog

Don’t keep those sunny terrace moments all to yourself. Head outside in the late afternoon with a drink for you, and a lick mat or doggy ice treat for your four-legged friend.
You get a minty tonic, they get a frozen chicken snack, everyone’s happy.
Who says dogs don’t deserve a happy hour?

📸 5. Capture your moments together

Summer flies by, but memories last. A lazy afternoon on the terrace, lounging in the grass together, or a silly splash in the garden, capture it, enjoy it, and share the joy.
Use #FantailClub to inspire other dog parents: staycations are even better when we experience them together.
Because holidays aren’t about where you are, they’re about who’s napping next to you.
