How to Spoil Your Pet This Valentine’s Day

Our pets enrich our lives with unconditional love and companionship. This Valentine’s Day, let’s celebrate the joy they bring—whether they have fur, feathers, or scales.

At Yarra Valley Pet Resort, we recognise the special bond between humans and their animal companions. We’re dedicated to providing a loving and enriching environment for every guest. Let’s make this Valentine’s Day a memorable one by showering our beloved companions with extra affection and appreciation.

Spoiling Your Furry Valentine

Pamper Time

Your pet deserves to feel special, and what better way than with some luxurious pampering? We’ve curated some of our favourite local services and products to help you spoil your furry friend:

Dr. Lisa Dog Soothing Balm is a favourite amongst our guests. This gentle balm helps nourish and protect your pet’s paws and nose, keeping them soft and hydrated through the summer heat. For comprehensive skin and coat care, we recommend Doggie Balm Co. Natural Skin and Hair Care range, featuring all-natural ingredients that keep your pet’s coat shiny and skin healthy.

Looking for professional grooming services? Our neighbours at Seville Veterinary Clinic offer exceptional grooming services, including bathing, nail trims, and haircuts, all handled by experienced professionals in a stress-free environment.

Delicious Treats

Nothing says ‘I love you’ quite like favourite treats! Here are some options to tantalise your pet’s taste buds:

The Farmer’s Dog Delivery Service offers fresh, healthy, and customised meals for your pet, delivered straight to your door. For a special Valentine’s touch, Top Dog Bakery creates beautiful iced name bones—perfect for that Instagram-worthy Valentine’s celebration.
