Dogs at Christmas: Keeping Tails Wagging This Festive Season
Share
The tree’s up, the lights are twinkling, and the smell of mince pies fills the air — it can only mean one thing… Christmas is coming! 🐾
And while we’re busy wrapping gifts and singing along to festive tunes, our dogs are just as excited (and a little confused) by all the sparkle and smells around them. Whether it’s sneaking a sausage roll or getting tangled in tinsel, our pups are part of what makes Christmas magical.
Here’s how to make sure your four-legged friend has the best (and safest) Christmas ever — with a few paw-sitive ideas from us at Pawsitive Treats! ❤️
🎅 Keep the Treats Dog-Friendly
We all love sharing the joy (and snacks!) over Christmas, but not everything on our plates is safe for dogs. Avoid giving them:
🍫 Chocolate (even a little can be dangerous)
🍇 Raisins, grapes, or mince pies
🍗 Cooked bones
🧅 Onions, garlic, or stuffing
Instead, make their Christmas feast extra special with natural dog treats. From turkey & cranberry sausages to festive fish bites, there are plenty of tasty and healthy ways to include your pup in the celebrations!
🎁 Give Them a Gift They’ll Love
Our dogs might not understand Christmas, but they definitely know when something exciting is happening! A special toy, a cozy blanket, or a box of delicious treats is the perfect way to show them they’re part of the family celebrations.
You could even wrap up a few smaller treats and let them “open” them — dogs love the crinkly sound of paper and the surprise inside!

🌟 Keep Things Calm
Christmas can be noisy and busy — family visiting, kids playing, new smells, and flashing lights can sometimes be overwhelming for dogs.
Here’s how to help them stay relaxed:
Create a quiet space with their bed and toys.
Stick to their regular feeding and walking routine.
Give them plenty of breaks away from the excitement.
💚 A happy, calm pup = a happier Christmas for everyone.
✨ Make Memories
Don’t forget to capture the magic! A photo of your dog in front of the tree, opening their Santa Paws Box, or snoozing by the fire makes the sweetest Christmas keepsake.

🎄 Final Thoughts
Christmas isn’t just about gifts — it’s about love, laughter, and spending time with the ones who make our tails wag. This year, make sure your dog feels every bit as special as they make you feel all year round.
