The Christmas season is full of love, warmth, and great memories with family and friends. For many of us, that means our pets make our holidays extra special. I know how important it is to keep these memories alive, so I'm excited to tell you about these fun holiday activities you can do with your pet!
Festive Photo Session
There's no better way to celebrate the holidays than with a photo session with your pet. This year, I'm offering special Christmas sessions that capture the magic of the season. Whether your pet is wearing a cute holiday sweater or simply being their adorable self, these photos will make for perfect holiday cards that family and friends will cherish. Plus, they’ll be a great keepsake for you to look back on in years to come!
Create Holiday Cards
Once you’ve snapped some fabulous photos, why not turn them into holiday cards? Share your cheerful moments with family and friends! Personalise each card with the photo we've captured for you, a special message, and your pet’s photo will surely spread joy and warmth during this festive season.
Go for a Night Walk to See Holiday Lights
Once people start putting up holiday lights, it's lovely to take your pet for a walk in the evening to enjoy the magic. It's also cooler at night as the weather starts getting warmer. It's an awesome way to take in the sights and feel the holiday spirit. Remember to keep your pet close, though, because the lights and decorations can sometimes be extra tempting for curious noses.
Attend a Dog-Friendly Christmas Market
In Canberra there are usually plenty of dog-friendly Christmas markets like the Haig Park markets on Sundays which usually have paw parties on. These events are the perfect opportunity to let your pet enjoy the sights, sounds, and festive spirit. Treat your furry friend to some dog-friendly snacks, and don’t forget to grab a few holiday goodies for yourself!
Throw a Pet Holiday Playdate
Why not invite some friends (both humans and pets) over to have a holiday playdate? Create a cosy space with toys, goodies, and maybe even a tiny obstacle course for them to run about in! It's great to see pets having fun, and adding some holiday-themed accessories (such as scarves or festive bandanas) makes it even cuter. This is especially helpful if your pet loves meeting other animals—it's an entire party just for them!
Holiday Movie Night In
A holiday movie night with your pet snuggled up besides you is just the best. Grab a couple of holiday classics, whip up some hot cocoa for yourself, and maybe toss in a few special treats for your pet to munch on. They'll be super excited to cuddle up with you while you both chill and enjoy the holiday vibes.
Explore Local Parks and Trails
Get into the spirit of the season by exploring the beautiful natural landscapes Canberra has to offer. Take your pet on a hike through stunning trails or a leisurely stroll in the park while soaking in the holiday atmosphere. You can check out some great dog walking trails here. Bring your phone or a camera to document your adventure together, capturing the joy of exploration. Make sure to keep an eye out on the temperature and go out when it's not too hot.
The holidays are a wonderful time to make memories with our pets, and those little moments we share are truly the greatest gifts of the season. Whether you’re exploring Canberra with your pet, hosting a cosy playdate, or just curling up for a movie night, these activities are all about enjoying the joy and warmth that our pets bring.
