The holidays are a time to celebrate, give thanks, and share joy with the ones we love—including our most loyal companions, our pets! Including them in festive traditions is a heartwarming way to express gratitude for their unconditional love and companionship. From cozy outfits and special treats to memories that will last a lifetime, here are a few ways to make your fur babies part of the holiday magic.
Take your pet to “Photos with Santa” event. Check with your local Global Pet Foods or include them in your family’s holiday photo shoot. These moments are filled with wagging tails, curious sniffs, and plenty of smiles—perfect for creating cherished memories.
Enjoy the decorations and leave with a photo that captures the magic of the season. Whether it’s matching outfits, a fun holiday backdrop, or your pet’s goofy grin, these photos are a heartwarming way to celebrate the holidays with your loyal companion.
When you’re hanging stockings for your family, don’t forget to save a spot for your pet—after all, they’re part of the family, too! Fill their stocking with tasty treats, fun toys, or the cutest sweaters and accessories for a holiday surprise they’ll love.
Your local Global Pet Foods has the purr-fect stocking stuffers for every critter and budget, making it easy to spoil your beloved friend. Watching them sniff out their surprises on Christmas morning is a heartwarming tradition that’s sure to bring smiles to the whole family.
Milk and cookies aren’t just for Santa—your pet deserves a festive treat, too! Whether it’s a holiday Bosco and Roxy’s cookie or their favorite go-to biscuit, pairing it with a splash of delicious goat’s milk creates a holiday snack they’ll adore.
For an extra festive twist, try a pet-friendly version of eggnog by mixing goat’s milk with a sprinkle of turmeric. Serve it in their favourite bowl and watch their excitement as they enjoy this special holiday delight. It’s a simple, thoughtful way to include them in the season’s magic!
The snow is falling softly outside, the wind is whistling through the trees, and you’re snuggled up on the couch with your pet by your side, both of you wrapped in holiday coziness. A warm mug of cocoa for you, a soft blanket for them, and their festive outfit completes the picture-perfect holiday vibe.
There’s nothing more heartwarming than seeing your pet all decked out in festive attire! Whether it’s a cozy sweater, a cute holiday bandana, or matching pajamas with the whole family, dressing your furry friend for the season adds an extra dash of cheer. Just be sure to choose attire that’s comfortable for your pet and doesn’t restrict their movement.
Get creative this holiday season by making heartfelt keepsakes featuring your pet! Use pet-safe paint to create paw-print ornaments, festive cards, or even a garland made of paw-shaped art. A fun idea is painting a Christmas tree using layered paw prints in a triangular pattern—adorable and unique!
For an everlasting memory, fill a clear ornament with your pet’s hair collected during brushing sessions. Add a ribbon or write their name and the year on the ornament for a sentimental touch. These handmade decorations are not only beautiful but also a way to celebrate the love and joy your pet brings to your family.
Treat your pet to a holiday feast they’ll never forget! Create a festive bowl using pet-safe, high-quality ingredients that capture the joy of the season. Start with traditional favourites like turkey or duck or go all out with something extra special like rabbit or a raw meaty bone for a true culinary treat.
For a cozy winter meal, add warm bone broth or dog-friendly gravy to their dish to enhance flavour and warmth. Top it all off with a special holiday cookie!
Turn a snowy day into an adventure by hiding treats or toys in the snow for your dog to find! This winter enrichment activity engages their natural sniffing instincts, providing mental stimulation and physical exercise.
Use their favourite treats or durable, easy-to-spot toys, and watch as they excitedly dig, sniff, and explore. It’s a simple yet rewarding way to keep them active and entertained while embracing the magic of winter!
A snowy day is the perfect chance to bond with your pet while getting fresh air and a little winter sun. Turn it into a playful activity by building a snowman or snow-pup together! Use dog-safe items like pizzles for arms and small treats for the eyes, nose, and smile—your furry friend will love being part of the fun. It’s a festive way to enjoy the season and keep your pet active outdoors!
Share the holiday spirit by giving back to those in need! Donate supplies like food, blankets, or toys to your local foodbank and pet shelter, or attend pet charity events to support their efforts. Include your pet in the giving by donating some of their unused toys or treats—it’s a wonderful way to teach generosity and make space for new goodies.
For a truly heartwarming experience, consider spreading joy beyond shelters. Visit a senior care home with your well-behaved pet to brighten someone’s day. The unconditional love and cheer pets bring can make a world of difference, especially during the holidays.
The holidays are a time to celebrate the love and joy our pets bring into our lives. By including them in festive traditions or creating new ones together, you’ll make the season even more magical and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Our beloved pets bring immeasurable joy and companionship into our lives, becoming cherished members of our families. While we shower them with love and care, one aspect of their well-being is often overlooked, their dental health. Just like humans, pets require regular attention to maintain a healthy mouth, as dental issues can significantly impact their overall wellness. The bacteria and plaque harden on their teeth to create tartar. This results in receding gums, gingivitis, pain, and tooth loss. When left untreated these dental infections can spread to the heart, kidneys, and other vital organs of our loved ones.
By understanding and implementing the following practices, we can ensure our furry friends not only flaunt a bright smile but also enjoy a life of vitality and happiness. So, let’s delve into the world of pet dental care and discover how simple steps can lead to a lifetime of optimal health for our four-legged companions!
Regular brushing is a cornerstone of maintaining optimal oral health in pets, playing a pivotal role in preventing the accumulation of plaque and tartar. Many may feel it is outdated, but veterinarians stand by it; brushing is the best way to prevent tartar build up and gum disease. By establishing a routine of brushing your pet’s teeth, we can effectively remove the plaque before it solidifies into tartar, minimizing the risk of dental issues. We all know it is not as easy as it sounds, but this practice can play a vital role not only in their dental health but also their overall well-being.
Choosing the right toothbrush and toothpaste is essential to make the brushing experience as comfortable and effective as possible, for both us and our pets. We are in this together! There are a pet-specific toothbrushes with a variety of sizes so we can find the appropriate size for each furry friend. Some may be more comfortable with a handle while others prefer the finger toothbrush. Additionally, there are pet friendly toothpastes and gels in a variety of flavours like peanut butter, chicken and bacon that can make the experience more enjoyable for our four-legged companions. We do want to stay away from human toothpaste and avoid any products that contain xylitol, which is toxic to our pets. Introducing our pets to brushing requires patience and a gradual approach. We want to begin by allowing them to sniff and lick the toothbrush and toothpaste to help them get familiar. Progress into gentle touches around the mouth, slowly incorporating short brushing sessions until they become accustomed to the process. This can take a few days or weeks and positive reinforcement with treats and/or praise can go a long way in making the process as positive as possible.
The impact of diet on oral health in pets can be profound; it is not just about providing them nutrients, but also about ensuring their pearly whites stay gleaming. Luckily, there are a few options out there to suit everyone. Opting for a kibble that is designed to promote dental health can do wonders. These specialized diets often boast big kibble pieces and rough textures that encourage chewing and help scrub away plaque and tartar in the process.
On the flip side, avoiding sugary foods and treats is crucial in avoiding dental dilemmas. Sugars can be villains in our pets’ dental health adventure, promoting growth of harmful bacteria wreaking havoc on their mouths. As these bacteria feast on sugars, they produce acids that, over time, can erode tooth enamel and create a breeding ground for plaque and tartar. This is where fresh, cooked, or raw diets come in handy. They contain more natural enzymes that help to control the bacterial growth and are low in carbohydrates that feed the pesky plaque forming bacteria. When it comes to our pet’s meals, we want to make choices that not only satisfy their taste buds but also contribute to a great dental regime.
Dental chews and toys are not just your pet’s playtime buddies; they’re the superheroes of oral hygiene, on a mission to keep their teeth clean and strong. The benefits of these dental delights extend far beyond a blissful, fulfilling chew session. As our furry friends enthusiastically gnaw on a dental chew or toy, they are not only satisfying their natural instinct to chew but also engaging in a full-scale battle against plaque and tartar. Whether it is a raw-meaty bone, challenging chew, or sturdy toy, selecting the right match for our pet’s size, chewing style, and preference is crucial. A chew that is too small may pose a choking hazard, while one that is too large can discourage our pets. When providing a bone or chew, we want to ensure it is larger than the length of their muzzle and if we are uncertain or between sizes, it is best to go larger. For more voracious chewers, opt for more durable options, while more delicate chewers may benefit from softer materials. So, when playtime rolls around, make it a dual-purpose affair by incorporating dental chews and toys into the mix. Your pet will thank you with a sparkling smile and wagging tail, ready for the next adventure.
In a world where dental care for pets meets convenience, water additives and oral gels emerge as the unsung heroes, offering a brush-free approach to maintain those sparkling smiles. Dental water additives, a.k.a. the magic elixirs for oral health, are designed to mix seamlessly with your pet’s drinking water. As they take their sips, these additives work behind the scenes, helping to break down plaque and fight off pesky bacteria. Many are made to be completely, tasteless, scentless, and invisible, so you can add it in, and they will never know.
Now we will jump into the world of oral gels. Just a few drops a day will result in a gorgeous smile by harnessing the power of the carefully formulated ingredients. These gels are often enriched with antimicrobial agents and enzymes that target and reduce harmful bacteria, plaque, and tartar buildup. The drops are applied to the gum line and take affect while our pets lick it and spread it around their mouth. These gels are crafted to freshen breath and promote optimal gum health, leaving your pet with fresh breath instead of stinky kisses.
Embarking on the journey of monitoring your furry friend’s dental well-being is like being a paw-some detective on a mission to crack the case of the bad breath. Start by keeping a keen eye on their eating habits and chewing antics; could be clues pointing towards potential dental issues. Is our once voracious eater suddenly approaching meals with hesitation? Or our enthusiastic chewing sessions have turned lackluster? These are the clues for dental concerns that warrant our attention. Ideally, experts recommend checking our pet’s oral health every day, but for some this can be unrealistic. If we can aim for a few times a week or weekly, it can be beneficial. Recognizing the tale-tell signs of dental problems is a lot more than just catching a whiff of bad breath. We want to watch out for subtle cues like swollen gums, excessive drooling, or even reluctance to chew and play with their toys. When we do stumble on these hints, it is time to take prompt action and speak with our pet’s veterinary team.
Picture these check-ups as your furry friend’s personal spa day, the professionals dive into the task of keeping our pets healthy and their chompers in tip-top shape. These physical exams give our veterinarians the chance to look at their oral cavity; they are crucial line of defense against potential dental dramas. They can spot dental concerns that may elude even the most vigilant pet parent during at-home checks. These check-ups not only provide the opportunity for examination but also to talk about pet parent concerns, preventative measures, and professional cleanings. The frequency of these check-ups can vary based on age, breed, and overall health. Our veterinary check-ups play a pivotal role in addressing dental issues at their earliest stages. Early detection allows for prompt intervention, preventing the escalation of dental problems that could lead to discomfort, pain, or more extensive treatments. Together, with a vigilant eye and the guidance of your pet’s trusty vet, you’ll be well on your way to securing a lifetime of gleaming smiles and tail-wagging happiness!
Pet dental health is a vital aspect of overall well-being, often overlooked but crucial for a happy and healthy furry friend. We’ve explored simple yet effective tips – from regular brushing to dental chews and professional check-ups – all contributing to a brighter smile and a better quality of life for our pets. The benefits extend far beyond immediate oral hygiene; they pave the way for a future where our pet enjoys lasting comfort and joy. So, let’s embark on this journey of proactive dental care, ensuring our pets not only flaunt radiant smiles but also live their happiest, healthiest lives by our sides.
