The holidays are all about joy and togetherness, and who deserves to be part of the celebration more than your loyal furry friend? Although they may not understand the technicalities of the day, there are so many ways to get them involved in the Christmas festivities! If you're unsure on where to start, here’s our helpful guide on how to make this Christmas your dog’s best one yet!
1. Treats and Feasts: Include your dog in the holiday feast with some extra-special treats. Luckily for you, here at Doggie Solutions, we have plenty of options to choose from. Opt for plant-based or classic chicken depending on your pups preference! If you're feeling extra fancy, why not try your own homemade recipe? Dog-friendly cookies made from pumpkin, peanut butter, and oats are a festive and safe option that your pup will love.
2. Festive Playtime: Create holiday-themed playtime with toys that look like Christmas characters—squeaky Santa, plush turkey, or even a pig in blanket! Rotate new toys to keep your dog entertained and engaged throughout the holiday season.
3. Cosy Comforts: Make sure your dog has a cosy spot to relax. A new dog bed or blanket can create a warm and snug space for them to enjoy the festivities whilst you and your family cuddle up to watch Home Alone for the 50th time!
4. Include Them in Traditions: Involve your dog in family traditions like opening gifts. Wrap up a toy or a special treat for them to sniff out and unwrap—it’s a great way to stimulate their senses and make them feel included.
5. Extra Cuddles and Attention: With busy holiday schedules, it’s important not to overlook quality time. Set aside moments for Christmas walks, snuggles, and play—your dog will appreciate the extra attention more than any gift!
With these thoughtful touches, you can make this Christmas an unforgettable one for your dog, ensuring they feel the holiday cheer as much as you do. After all, they’re part of the family too!
Happy paw-lidays to you and your beloved pup!
