Employ a few of the ideas below to keep you and your dogs entertained this spring:

Create a doggy ball pit. Get yourself a baby pool and order (way too many) plastic balls online, then sit back and enjoy your dog’s elation.

Build a backyard obstacle course. Keep your dog’s skills sharp! Make your own obstacles out of household items and put your pup to the test. We love this DIY guide. Give your dog a fabulous treat for the effort and get yourself a glass of Bar Dog wine!

Make a batch of dog biscuits. Bake a few extra to deliver to your friend’s doorsteps. We love these recipes here.

Share the love. Create gift bags for your four-legged friends with all of their favorite treats and drop them off with all those extra biscuits.

Adventure is out there, big or small, and Bar Dog Wines will be by our side through it all. There’s now a Bar Dog wine for every occasion: Bar Dog Cabernet Sauvignon, Bar Dog Pinot Noir, Bar Dog Red Blend and Bar Dog Chardonnay. Add one or all to your grocery store pickup or delivery order today!

If you prefer to shop online, remember that you’ll enjoy penny shipping when you order a case or more in our online Wine Shop. It’s a great opportunity to stock up for the even better weather to come!
