Don't Be A Grinch! Fun & Safe Ways To Celebrate The Holidays With Your Pet!

Fill your pet’s stocking with some vet approved stocking stuffers!
Make  you pet some special homemade treats. Perhaps some small holiday cookies infused in catnip for our feline friends, or some pumpkin oatmeal balls for your canine companion. However, don’t let your pet overindulge in new treats as this can upset their bellies, but some new treats for your pet can be a fun way to celebrate the holidays. Add in some puzzle toys, tough to chew kong toys, dental chew toys or treats, new scratchers for your feline friend, or some catnip toys!
Take your Pet on a Snow Outing
Take your furry friend out on a snow outing! This might be more for our canine friends than feline though. Most dogs, and some cats, love romping around in the white powdery stuff! Play catch with lightly packed snowballs, or simply play chase in the snow. This fun activity gives you and your pet bonding time as well as exercise during the long days indoors. 

Give your pet some extra loves after all the huballu and guests have left. 
Take your pet out for a walk or a snow outing after everyone has left and your home has quieted down. Show your pet you haven’t forgotten about them by playing with them or giving them a special puzzle toy with some extra special goodies in them. While your guests are present allow your pet to have their own quiet space to retreat to. Choose a room in your house that your pet can “hide” in away from all the excitement of the holidays. In this room allow your pet to just be. Set up a cozy area with a bed, toys, and their dog food just in case all the excitement becomes too much for your furry friend. 

Have A Pet Photoshoot!
Take your pet with you on holiday pictures and to make the experience more enjoyable for your furry friend bring some treats along as well! We would love to see your pet’s holiday candids on our facebook page.
