Welcome to 2025, the Year of the Snake! Snakes are known for their intelligence, mysterious charm, and ability to think deeply and solve problems. It sounds like the perfect spirit animal for the clever, determined, and oh-so-bossy Schnauzers, right? Whether your Schnauzer is mini, standard or giant, this year promises intrigue, growth, and plenty of schnauzertude.


Let's dive into our 2025 dog horoscope and see what the Year of the Snake holds for your Schnauzer in health, love, petfluencer goals, and more, while also sharing feng shui tips to maximize your pup's luck, charm and treat count.


Schnauzer Traits by Size

  • Mini Schnauzers: The cheekiest of the pack, minis are known for their big barks and even bigger personalities. They're masters of manipulation with those puppy eyes and are always ready to outsmart their humans for an extra treat.

  • Standard Schnauzers: The level-headed thinkers of the Schnauzer family, standards balance smarts with loyalty. They're problem-solvers and tend to be the most grounded in their schnauzer sass.

  • Giant Schnauzers: Majestic and commanding, giants are the ultimate protectors. They take their jobs seriously. Whether it's guarding the house or being the pack leader, their stubborn streak comes with a touch of grandeur.


Here's our 2025 Dog Horoscope for the Year of the Snake : Schnauzer Edition


Health Predictions

The Year of the Snake is all about thoughtful decisions and staying ahead. For Schnauzers, this means paying close attention to their unique needs:

  • Mini Schnauzers: Keep an eye on dental health and weight management. Their love of treats might make their tummies (and waistlines) a little rounder. Make sure to stock up on dental chews, chicken flavored toothpaste, and regular grooming sessions to keep them looking fabulous.

  • Standard Schnauzers: Regular exercise is key! Whether it's hikes or agility games, keep their minds and bodies active to prevent boredom which can result in mischievous destruction.

  • Giant Schnauzers: Joint health is a focus this year. Invest in comfy bedding, joint supplements, and low-impact activities to keep them moving with ease.



Feng Shui Tip: Invest in an orthopedic dog bed because they deserve only the best. Place your Schnauzer's bed in a quiet, well-lit area of the home to ensure restful energy and relaxation. Add a splash of green nearby, like a dog-safe plant, for healing and positive vibes.

Love and Relationships

2025 is the year of connection for Schnauzers, making it the perfect time to expand your pup's social circle.

  • Single Schnauzers: Encourage your pup to attend schnauzer meetups. In 2024, we have seen so many meetups happening across the US and we expect the community to grow even bigger this year. From the annual Schnauzerfest Rome with over 500 schnauzer attendees to LA's Schnauzer meetup closely following with over 250 schnauzers in attendance hosted by my good friend @simonsaysschnauzer, there are plenty of opportunities to mingle and let your pup bark its head off without worrying someone will judge you. But don't stop there. Many businesses organize dog-friendly activities and events, which is another perfect opportunity to meet new friends. Check out my calendar for recommended events if you're in Los Angeles. 

  • Schnauzers in a Pack: Strengthen bonds by organizing group activities like hikes, pack walks, beach day playdates, or hitting the agility course. This year is all about unity and teamwork, so celebrate the pack mentality!


Feng Shui Tip: Use red accessories like collars or bandanas to symbolize love and strong relationships. Not to mention, it's a great color to capture everyone's attention.

Career & Petfluencer Goals

For schnauzers looking to level up their petfluencer game, 2025 is the year to shine.

  • Show your schnauzertude: Be unapologetic and show us those tantrums and howls that'll match the sound of sirens, thieving activities, and nonstop barking.



  • Keep it stylish: Showcase those brows on fleek, lush lashes, and majestic beards. I may not have a traditional haircut that rivals a show dog, but I'm always proud to showcase a white beard and fluffy cut.

  • Engage online: Post frequently and interact with your audience. Show some love to other accounts and see that friendship grow in real life. Yes, we met many of our good friends through Instagram and TikTok. 

  • Talent Spotlight: Whether it's tricks, comedy skits, or modeling, this year rewards creativity and charm.


Petfluencer Pro Tip: Keep it real and be consistent. If you are looking into starting your petfluencer journey but don't know where to start, check my Petfluencer Guide here


Feng Shui Tip: Add gold accents or accessories to your pup's wardrobe to symbolize success and wealth.

Lucky Foods

  • Chicken Jerky – Chicken symbolizes prosperity and strength. Toss your Schnauzer a piece of chicken jerky to start their day on a good note and avoid tantrums throughout the day.

  • Golden Sweet Potatoes – Sweet potatoes represent grounding energy and wealth. Plus, they’re paw-sitively delicious in every form—crispy chips or chewy stick fries.

  • Salmon Snacks – Fish signifies abundance and health. Treat your Schnauzer to some salmon jerky or toppers to keep their coat shiny and their luck flowing. You might not be a fan of fishy breath, but your Schnauzer would love you for it, so be ready for sloppy, stinky thank-you kisses.



Lucky Colors, Numbers, and Energy

  • Lucky Colors: Red, green, and gold—representing passion, growth, and prosperity.

  • Lucky Numbers: 2, 5, and 8. Always remember this for treat counts.

  • Lucky Elements: Wood and earth. Incorporate natural elements like wooden toys or earthy tones in their accessories.


Unlucky Omens to Avoid

  • Chewing on Shoes – While your Schnauzer might think this is hilarious, it’s a no-no in feng shui. Shoes symbolize journeys and progress, so chewing them might disrupt forward momentum. Teach your Schanuzer to stick to chew toys instead.

  • Empty Treat Jar – An empty treat jar? Bad vibes! Always keep it stocked to ensure abundance and joy for your pup. Schnauzers are smart and they will hold that against you.

  • Messy Beards – In the Year of the Snake, untamed beards can symbolize chaos (and not the fun kind). Keep that schnauzer beard trimmed and clean.

Tips for Making 2025 Pawsome

  • Flaunt that Schnauzertude: Whether your Schnauzer is bossy, clingy, or overly dramatic, embrace their personality and let them shine.

  • Keep Adventures Fresh: Rotate between your pup's favorite activities—hikes, sniffaris, or car rides to their favorite pup patty and puppuccino spot—to keep them engaged.

  • Celebrate Milestones: From gotcha days to petfluencer milestones, every moment is worth celebrating this year. 

  • Stay Connected: Build relationships online and offline. My human found all her crazy dog mom friends online, and you should see them in the wild. It's pretty fascinating. 


Feng Shui Tip: Place a mirror near your pup's favorite lounging spot. In feng shui, mirrors symbolize clarity and amplify positive energy. Plus, we schnauzers act like we are better than everyone, so we would absolutely love a spot where we can admire our fabulous selves. 



The Year of the Snake is full of thoughtful decisions and deep connections—an ideal year for Schnauzers to channel their cleverness and charm. Whether mastering a new trick, stealing hearts on social media, or simply snuggling up on the couch to score belly rubs, Schnauzers are poised for a year of success, love, and lots of tail wags.
