Pets and Mental Health: Caring for Happy Pets This Christmas.
Whether your Christmas is buzzing with activity or you’re planning on staying on the sofa for the festive period, it’s important to keep your pet’s spirit bright all season long…
In this month’s blog, we’ll be sharing our top tips to keep tails wagging throughout December…
Keeping your Pet Entertained During the Holiday Season
The busy Christmas period means your beloved pet might not receive their usual amount of attention, so considering how to keep your pet entertained indoors will ensure happiness for you both.
Providing your furry friend with mentally stimulating toys is a fantastic way to keep them occupied and content while you manage festive parties or tackle pre-Christmas errands. For Dogs, try playing hide and seek with their favourite treats inside our Prancer Penguin Toy - or spread some of our Turkey and Cranberry Paste on the Christmas Tree Lick Mat for hours of fun.
When it comes to our felines, cats and Christmas trees do not go hand in hand! To avoid the tree becoming their own personal cat tower, provide entertainment like our Steve Santa Snuffle Mat to keep them busy and reduce stress when you have a house full.
Looking After Your Pet’s Mental Health
Like many of us humans, our pets may be feeling the effects of the winter slump - but there are things you can do to make sure they stay happy.
Keeping your pet mentally and physically active throughout the colder months will help to beat the winter blues. Our dogs love walkies, but in icy conditions it’s wise to think about how you can keep them active indoors. A game of indoor fetch with a soft toy is a classic energy burner, or practising some trick training can provide excellent mental exercise.
Cats are natural hunters, so tapping into those natural instincts can help to provide stimulation and reduce anxiety when there’s a lot of unusual smells and sounds around.Feather wands and teaser toys like our Roxy Reindeer Wand are perfect for letting your cat stalk and catch, just remember to reward them with a treat for all of their hard work afterwards!
Create a Safe and Supportive Environment
To ensure your pet enjoys a happy and relaxed Christmas, it is important to create a designated safe and comfortable sanctuary where they can retreat from the Christmas excitement.
Choose a quiet corner of your home, like a spare bedroom, and fill it with familiar items to comfort them such as their favorite bed, blanket, and toys, reinforcing the area as a calming space for them to relax in.
