Holiday activities with your pet
Can you include your pet in your Christmas traditions and holiday activities? Why not? There are so many fun ways to get them involved.
- For dogs, one great idea is to take them to outdoor light displays. Well-behaved dogs are usually welcomed if they’re on leash. Or for rambunctious pups, enjoy the lights from the comfort of your car.
- Cats are curious creatures and do well to “help” with wrapping (or maybe unwrapping?) presents—it’s sure to lead to some cute animal photos too, so start a new tradition by including your cat in the boxing and unboxing fun.
- Depending on the breed, your dog might love to play in the snow. Try to find a place where they can safely romp off-leash, and keep them cozy with one of these dog coats for winter.
Pet-friendly holiday decor
Decorating your home for the fall and winter holidays is a sure way to impart a warm and festive air. And luckily, there’s plenty of pet-friendly holiday decor.
- You can help your pet get into the festivities by giving them seasonal pet food mats or pet stockings to hang on the mantle with the rest of the family.
