Let’s face it, dogs won’t be able to tell whether it’s Christmas or a Tuesday - but that doesn’t mean they can’t get in on all the festive fun! What dogs do recognise is the value of a treat or a fun squeaky toy, so there’ll always be wagging tails on Christmas morning.

If you go as far as wrapping your dog’s present, ripping their way through to the treat inside will be a great source of mental enrichment. But always remember to make sure they’re doing so under your supervision, and that they’re not consuming anything they shouldn’t. If you believe your dog’s eaten paper, card or sticky tape - be sure to contact your vet.

There are so many things that would make great dog Christmas presents, after all, dogs are very easily pleased! Get them a brand new toy, a cosy blanket, a set of doggy pyjamas, or even some festive dog treats, so that they can feast on Christmas Day just like you do.

In short, yes! (What kind of pooch lovers would we be if we said no?).

Nothing spreads holiday cheer like seeing your pooch's tail wagging with delight, and giving them a special treat or toy on Christmas Day is the paw-fect way to do it.
