Santa Paws And Christmas Doggy Treats

The weather is chilly, the scent of burning logs
fills the air, and brightly colored lights are
twinkling into existence in neighborhoods across
the country. The Christmas season is here, and
with it comes time for family and loved ones,
and a long list of gifts to buy. For many
people, their dogs make that list. After all, a
dog is a companion, and they give their love and
loyalty in abundance. Christmastime is a
wonderful time to give your pooch a little
something extra to show that they mean something
to you. Whether it be a brand new pup, or a
faithful grey-furred friend, every dog deserves
a bit of Christmas cheer during the Holiday
season.

Many dog owners like to find special
Christmas-themed goodies to give to their canine
companions. Candy cane shaped raw-hide or biscuit
treats are available at a variety of pet stores
over the holidays. Presenting this special treat
to your dog only at Christmastime turns it into
something memorable for your pet. Each year
following, Fido will know it's that special time
of year again! Some pet stores offer a bakery
section with doggy-safe baked goods. Most
critters will enjoy having a Christmas cookie to
munch on. If you want to make it extra special,
you can bake the treats yourself, using dog
cookie recipes found online. For dogs that like
to chew and shred, a bone with a bow tied around
it can make a fun gift. Your pooch will enjoy not
only eating the bone, but pulling off the ribbon.
For more doggy amusement, you can purchase some
of your pet's favorite treats and wrap them
outside of their packaging so that they can be
smelled easily. Watch in enjoyment as your dog
rips through the wrapping paper to find the
treats inside.

Nobody knows your dog like you do, so if none
of the ideas mentioned here strike you, stick to
your gut to find a treat your dog will really
love. Some dog owners like to place their dog's
favorite treats inside a stocking and let them
dig through to discover what is inside. Another
idea is to hide the treats around the house and
let your doggy go on a hunt to find them. This
is especially good for active dogs who require
lots of stimulation.

As with any treat or toy, make sure you monitor
your pooch to ensure they are safe while enjoying
their goodies. Throw away bones that become too
small or splinter, as well as rawhide pieces
that could easily be choked on. See how your dog
reacts to new toys before leaving them
unattended, and always follow the package
instructions. If your dog has dietary
restrictions, keep these in mind as well and
consider speaking with your vet about which
holiday treats are safe for your pup and
compliment their dog food.

Have a warm, safe, and merry Christmas with
your dear furry friends!
