Pawsome Christmas Activities

Christmas is all about relaxing and spending time with loved ones. This is why we have compiled a list of pawsome things to do with your dog during Christmas.

1. Photo shoot with Santa

Every dog deserves to meet Santa and everybody will have a blast taking a couple of photos!

Aside from having fun, you will have a beautiful memory and the most adorable Christmas card.

2. Look at Christmas lights

While dogs might not understand why everything is decorated they will love hanging out with you and looking at all those shiny things.

Ideally, you can take a stroll through your neighborhood to get the daily workout done. It's a win-win situation!

3. Bake cookies

Nobody can resist a delicious cookie. This is the perfect opportunity to try out some pup-friendly cookies so your dog can enjoy their tasty treat as well.

To completely enjoy the holiday spirit you can shape them into cute shapes such as a paw, heart or a Christmas tree.

4. Watch Christmas movies

Your dog will love the idea of snuggling up next to you and enjoying a Christmas movie. If you have time, you can even turn it into a movie marathon.

Grab some treats and snacks, a warm blanket and turn on the Christmas lights. You've got the perfect evening!

5. Spoil your pup

Chances are your dog has been the goodest doggo and they deserve to be spoiled.

Whether it's a new bed, some toys or simple treats, unwrapping the present will be just as fun the present itself!

Everybody will enjoy hanging out and getting to know each other.
