If your family is staying together this Christmas make sure
your favourite four-legged friends have something to unwrap on the big
day. We can’t all have flying reindeer
like Santa Claus but our loyal companions are special in their own way.
Home from
Home Dog Boarding has provided a run-down of Christmas gift ideas for your
pet whether you’re together or apart this year.
Friday 12
December is national Christmas jumper day and what’s to stop your dog from
joining in with the fun? There are many on the market to fit dogs of all shapes
and sizes. Better yet, knitting patterns are available if you feel like
presenting your pet with a home-made gift this year. Perhaps you could create matching
sweaters for the entire family – dogs included.
If you really wanted a reindeer in the house to feel more
festive, then there’s always the novelty route. Antlers and elf hats are widely
available to make your pet look like they came straight from Santa’s grotto.
Of course there’s the walk. We might not want to leave our
cosy homes but a good walk can work up the appetite for the inevitable
Christmas dinner bellies we’ll all be wearing that day. A new toy will
entertain your dog while you’re struggling to remember what it felt like to
have fingers.
For many of us the best part of Christmas day is the dinner;
roast turkey and all the trimmings. Our dogs should have a luxurious dinner
too. We understand that pet food can be an expensive choice but
Christmas only
happens once a year so maybe spend a little extra on a special dinner for your
pet. We’re sure they’ll know the difference.
Our idea of a treat is perhaps a box of chocolates or a
cheeky sherry and luckily for us we can’t share these with our pooches. They
would much rather have rawhide chews which can come in a variety of Christmas
designs such as snowmen and penguins.
If you’re dog is with one of our dog carers this Christmas,
make sure you pack them a present for them to open at Christmas. If they’re
lucky maybe their carer has got them one as well!
