Prepare for unexpected vet bills
On a rainy day, why not explore a cool city from the comfort of a climate-controlled minibus? Savannah Movie Tours and More offers tour options and is known to be very pet-friendly. As long as your pup is on leash and is well behaved, they can attend history tours, the civil war tour, the ghost tours and the movie tours. Some tours offer a break for pups to drink water and have a treat; depending on the tour, a gourmet dog treat may be included! Walking tours are also available, though it may be preferable to wait for a sunny day for one of those.Â
A rainy day is a good day to get some shopping done. Perhaps you have a list of items that you have been meaning to pick up, or you have been considering making a purchase and want to compare options but haven't wanted to spend a sunny day indoors. Now that the rain is falling, you and your pup can get these things accomplished while spending time together. Tractor Supply Co. is a dog-friendly retail store where you can shop for all sorts of items for your outdoor needs. The store is open seven days a week and there are locations in different parts of Georgia. Your pup will even get a treat when you checkout!
For a unique shopping experience that is a great way to spend a rainy day, visit the Savannah Bee Company! The shop is dog-friendly and offers a variety of specialty honey, organic beehive-based skincare products. They even sell items made for dogs, like Doggie & Me Beeswax Balm that helps to soothe paw pads and Oliver Bentley's Honey Ginger Dog Biscuit Bites. The store even has tastings so you and your pup can try the products before making a purchase. You and your pooch can explore the shop and its unique items while enjoying one another's company.
Looking for a unique activity for you and your pup on a rainy afternoon? Check out Krog Street Tunnel, a space that is filled with local art that welcomes dogs on leash. You and your pup can wander through the area and check out the unique art on display. Enjoy taking photos of your pup in this special space, and keep your eyes out for Door #1 from the Tiny Doors ATL project. This is a great way to get out of your house and spend time with your pooch regardless of the weather!
Despite the inclement weather, your pup will still require mental and physical activity. A rainy day is the perfect opportunity for your pooch to spend time with a food puzzle toy! These toys, typically made of rubber or very hard plastic, can be filled with kibble or treats. Your pup will then have to work at maneuvering the toy in a certain way in order for the food to be released. This will require trial and error, skill, and a lot of patience. There are different types of puzzle toys; try one or more and see which one your dog enjoys. You will also enjoy watching your dog figure out how the toy works, resulting in entertainment for both YOU and your pup!
