In his book, The Five Love Languages, Gary Chapman decodes the way people express love and explains how we give love the way we like to receive it. Our communication is successful when we know and acknowledge our partner’s love language.
However, his theory doesn’t only work for human relationships, you can apply the same principles to your relationship with your pet.
February is the month of love, with Valentine’s Day on the 14th and Love Your Pet Day on the 20th, and while we don’t need just a couple of days or a month to celebrate the love we have for our pets, there’s no reason we can’t use them as a great excuse, explains Marycke Ackhurst pet behaviour expert from Hill’s Pet Nutrition.
Understanding how your pet expresses affection and how to respond makes for an ongoing happy and loving relationship. So, how do you know if your cat loves you? Or what are the signs your dog loves you? Consider how your pet communicates:
What are the Five Love Languages? Ackhurst shares how you can communicate with your pet in their specific love language:
While being able to share your life with a pet, and receive the unconditional love they provide is something special, for many (humans and pets) this time of year can be lonely.
Young pets may need several visits in their first year for vaccinations. Adult pets generally benefit from annual check-ups, while senior or special-needs pets might require more frequent visits.
“There are thousands of cats and dogs in shelters around South Africa waiting for a second chance at love,” says Ackhurst. That’s why Hill’s has created the Pet Matchmaker App, an easy and fun way for pet parents to find a pet that suits their personality, and lifestyle.
On the app, you have access to shelters around South Africa, enabling pet parents to search for ‘the one.’ Prospective pet parents can apply filters and customise their search when looking for their match. These filters help you find just the pet you’re looking for. Search by age, size, breed mix, coat colour, pattern and fur length, disposition, activity level and suitability with other family members. The shelter pets are profiled on the Pet Matchmaker app with their bio, photos, and videos to introduce them to prospective pet parents.
“Think cupid meets Tinder with unconditional love,” says Ackhurst, “and, even better, you can do this from anywhere. It could be love at first swipe this Valentine’s Day.” The purpose of the app is to get as many pets adopted so that we can clear the shelters and find forever homes for these deserving cats and dogs.
The Pet Matchmaker App is free to download on IOS and Android.
