Holidays are a season to spread love and cheer, especially the Christmas season. More than humans, our pets tend to shower more love and keep us looking forward to spending a joyful time with everyone around. Even if we don’t see it, dogs make it extra special just by being around and doing things that make us smile. So don’t you think your canine best friend deserves to have a furry merry Christmas too?
Our fur babies truly deserve to be loved, so here’s how you can make wonderful festive memories with them, with no regrets!
- If you’re planning to go on a family trip, choose a place that allows pets. Let your dog to accompany you whenever possible. It’ll be thrilling to spend time with you, whether it’s driving around to see the lights, or simply for a family getaway!
- While you bake or plan to cook for your family, don’t forget your dog! Simply order dog food online and surprise your pet. Have you checked out De Dot’s range of pawsome treats yet?
- It may be Christmas, and everyone’s running around doing things differently, but don’t try to ignore your dog. Stick to their daily routines and makes things seem normal. Go for the usual walks, play some fetch and never forget treat time!
- Planning to shop? Then drop into a pet store and get your pooch some Christmas gifts too. Make it interesting with a festive bow tie or even a Christmas cap, and snap some pictures!
- Make your dog a part of family time. Opening presents with family is exciting and in turn, makes your pet curious as well. Christmas presents are a reason for a waggy tail and sloppy licks, we assure you!
- While watching fireworks may be a tradition for you, it’s considerably kinder to leave your dog at home, peacefully curled up in their safe zone. Crackers and fireworks may seem like a threat to these four-legged beings.
- Christmas season is a time when guests flood your house and sometimes, come in with their pets too. When introducing your pet to other dogs, be mindful of how it may react. It can be challenging to match old dogs with puppies! Make sure your dog is comfortable around guests and their pets.
- Your furry buddies might take one look at the glass ornaments on your Christmas tree and assume they are balls just waiting to be ‘fetched’! The key to keeping your dog safe this holiday season is to dog-proof all your Christmas decorations around the house. Gradually add decorations in the weeks leading up to Christmas so that your home doesn’t change too much all at once and leave your dog perplexed! If your fluffy companion has an allergic response, you’ll quickly identify which decorations are causing the problem.
So this is De Dot’s guide to spending a yappy happy Christmas with your canine buddy. Whatever you and your pet are doing to celebrate this year, make sure they have the best holiday memories with you and your fellow hoomans!
