Don't Forget Your Pets This Christmas

Pets bring so much joy into our lives so don't forget about them during the festive season. With all the hustle and bustle over Christmas our pets can feel a bit left out, especially dogs and cats.

Here are a few tips to make sure your pets don't get left out this Christmas.

• Most importantly make sure your pets water bowl or bottle is always full of fresh water, and don't forget to feed them! It might be a good idea to invest in an automated water or feed device.
  
  
• Take your dog for two walks every day; walkies is the most exciting time of the day for a dog and it's good exercise for you too.
  
  
• Wrap up your dogs or cats Xmas present and let them rip off the paper; it helps if there's some special treats inside ;)
  
  
• Play hide and seek with your dog (I haven't tried this with a cat but it might work too), my dog Biscuit loves to run around the house trying to figure out where I am. This is a great interactive way to engage your dog and great for kids too. You'll need a nice treat for when your dog finds you of course.
  
  
• You can teach an old dog new tricks so take some time out to do just that.
  
  
• Give your pet a Kong filled with treats, it'll keep them busy for ages and helps prevent boredom. You can buy Kongs for dogs, cats, birds and even ferrets!
