Today is National Dog Day, and what better way to honor the beloved canine friends in our lives than with a blessing of protection to keep them healthy and safe? Steer clear of candles and herbs (especially if your dog likes to taste everything), and be mindful that oils and incense can also be harmful to your pets. A better and safer alternative is to direct your energy to blessing their treats and toys with a spoken charm instead:

Hekate, Diana, Anubis, and Herne,
Bring blessings of health and joy in happy turn.
Noble deities who know good dogs true,
Keep safe and protect my friend here and through.

Another idea is to inscribe the deities' names from the charm inside your furry friend's collar. You could also create a sigil of protection especially for your dog and mark their collar, bowls, and beds with the marking.
