The holiday season is here, and while we are busying decking the halls and shopping for gifts, it is important to keep our furry friends safe, happy and part of the festive fun! Whether it's ensuring their safety around the Christmas tree or finding the paw-fect gift, we have got you covered with our ultimate guide to a dog-friendly holiday season.
Holiday Safety Tips for Your Pup
1. Secure the Tree
A wobbly Christmas tree can be a hazard for curious pups. Make sure your tree is securely anchored to avoid accident tipping. Also, avoid hanging fragile ornaments or edible decorations like candy canes within reach of your dog.
2. Be Mindful of Toxic Plants
Popular holiday plants like mistletoe, holly and poinsettias may look festive but are toxic to dogs if ingested. Opt for pet-friendly alternatives or keep these plants out of reach.
3. Skip the Table Scraps
Holiday meals can be tempting for your pup, but many human foods are harmful to dogs. Chocolate, cooked bones, onions and rich foods are a big no. Instead, treat them to dog-friendly snacks!
4. Watch Those Cords
Twinkling lights are magical, but electrical cords can be dangerous for curious chewers. Keep cords taped down or covered to avoid any accidents.
5. Create a Calm Space
The holidays can be overwhelming with guests and activity. Provide your dog with a quiet, cosy spot where they can retreat if they need a break from the festivities.
