Taking an adventure with your dog is an excellent way to create special bonding time, as well as new memories for you and your best friend. We put together a bucket list of adventures to have with your dog, plus sharing our dog’s favorite treats! 

29 Bucket List Adventures for Dogs + Their Owners

We recently brought home an adorable chocolate labradoodle, affectionately named Chance. This past six weeks we’ve spent time bonding with him, establishing routines, and giving him a lot of love! 

And of course, all the treats in the world! Chance LOVES treats. And he knows when you’re about to hand him one. When I walk over to the cabinet, he immediately comes over, sits down,  and patiently waits for a treat!

As he grows, we’re learning more and more about what he likes, including food and treats. When we started to think about what treats to give our puppy, Milo’s Kitchen home-style dog treats were on the top of our list.

These mouthwatering treats made by Milo’s Kitchen, have 100% real chicken, beef, duck, or sweet potato as the #1 ingredient. They are also free of artificial flavors or colors, and they are made right here in the USA. 

We care about what we eat, so why shouldn’t we feel the same about our pets? Our pets are part of our family, and we want to keep them healthy, active, and give them the best life possible. With Milo’s Kitchen home-style dog treats, you will get quality ingredients that are perfect for all of the adventures you and your dog will have. 

Chance, and our Boston Terrier, Goku, love chasing each other around the yard, going for walks and soaking up attention from all of us. 

We put together a list of fun adventures you can have with your dog to create special bonding time. 

1. Create a piece of art with your dog’s silhouette. 
2. Watch the Puppy Bowl together.
