Seven Great Ways To Get Your Dog Involved With Chr

As Christmas is fast approaching, much advice and information is offered to dog owners on how to ensure that their dogs stay safe and happy over the holiday season-but what about getting your pooch into the holiday spirit themselves?


Dogs love to be involved in everything that their families do, and they soon pick up on the excitement and whirlwind of activity that accompanies the season itself, so if you are looking for ideas on some fun ways to get your dog into the Christmas spirit this year, read on for our suggestions!


1. Get your dog a festive outfit


Not all dogs will enjoy being dressed up for Christmas, so if your dog is determined to be the Grinch, let them be! However, some dogs are perfectly happy to try out a new outfit or fancy dress, and particularly for smaller dogs like the Chihuahua and the Pug, lots of different outfits and coats with a festive theme can be found offered for sale all over the place!


Even if you decide that a festive outfit is likely to annoy your dog rather than entertain them, consider getting them a festive collar or coat for the cooler days, to wear for special occasions when the whole family are showing off their new Christmas jumpers!


2. Pick the perfect presents!


There’s no reason why dogs should be left out of the gift giving on the day itself, and picking out some great toys and treats for your dog and then watching them go loopy when presented with their spoils is well worth the effort!


Buy your dog a few treats such as toys and other things that they like and wrap them loosely in paper only with no tape or string, and let your dog dive in and “unwrap” their new haul! This can understandably prove a little messy when the wrapping paper is flying, but it is well worth it for the added entertainment value!


Remember to keep your dog’s haul of presents away from everyone else’s, so that your dog does not dive in indiscriminately!


3. Bake some festive treats
