‘Tis the season to deck the halls, trim the tree, and spoil your four-legged friends. If you’re anything like us, your holiday gift list includes tail-wagging wonders that’ll delight any dog owner and their canine companion. We’ve created the ultimate guide dog Christmas guide, full of tips and our favorite products to make this holiday season the most magical one yet.

Time to get cozy

There are few things better than curling up in front of the fire to watch Christmas movies this season. Why not make the occasion a family affair by including your furry friend in the fun? Your dog will enjoy watching some Christmas classics along with you, and even more so when they have a cozy dog blanket to relax on.

Get snapping

Getting the perfect pet pic amongst the Christmas chaos can be a challenge. But, with a sprinkle of festive magic (and bribery), you can be on your way to a print-worthy portrait the whole family will love. 

The best way to be sure you and your dog are framed in the photo together is to set the timer on your phone or ask a friend to snap a shot for you. This is where treats will come in handy to keep your pup’s attention.

The sky’s the limit when it comes to ideas for a festive photoshoot. Maybe you want to get a photo of your dog and family out on a walk together. Or, why not try posing in front of the Christmas tree? And if you’re really feeling the Christmas spirit, you can even hire a professional photographer to take a family portrait with your furry friend. 

From our furry family to yours

Now that you have the perfect shot, print them out and send them to family and friends as Christmas cards. If you have children, decorating the cards with glitter and stickers is a fun activity to keep them entertained, too. Don’t forget to let your dog sign the card with a cute paw print on the back. This will no doubt take pride of place on every mantlepiece.

All the trimmings

Steal the spotlight on Christmas day walkies with Omlet’s matching dog collar and leash sets. Available in a range of striking prints, these smart sets make the ideal gift for the dog in your life and are a great way to get your beloved pup looking smart when all the family arrives for lunch. 

Walking in a winter wonderland

One of the best parts of Christmas is all the lights to look at – there’s always someone in the neighborhood who goes all out with their decor!

Enjoy spending time with Fido this Christmas with a long walk to check out the decorations. They’ll be fascinated by all the bright blinking lights and holiday flair. Just don’t forget to stick to winter walking safety tips to ensure no one gets too chilly. 

Christmas market adventures

If you’re near a Christmas market, both you and your dog are in luck. Since most are held outdoors, they make for the perfect day out as long your pup is well-behaved and confident in crowded situations.

Enjoy some delicious mulled wine and listen to carol singers as you and your dog stroll through the scenery. Your dog will love the new sights, smells and exercise but be sure to bring along some dog-friendly treats with you to keep them distracted if need be. 

‘Tis the season to indulge

We all know that the holidays can be a time for extra indulgence. And while you shouldn’t entirely change your dog’s diet just because it’s Christmas, a few extra festive treats won’t hurt. 

Why not make these healthy apple and cinnamon dog cookies? These delicious, dog-friendly snacks make the perfect stocking stuffer or after-dinner treat.
