This year, treat your pet with these adorable PetSmart Valentine picks. For your pup, a pair of stuffed lips that make a kissing sounds would be a delight. My dog got this from her grandma for Christmas… she just loves the smoochy noise! Or go with Top Paw’s tank top declaring that your dog is loved just the way she is.
