How Can You Keep Your Dog Safe at Christmas?

Chocolate, grapes, raisins, onions and foods containing xylitol can be dangerous for dogs. Keep festive decorations, ribbons, tinsel and electrical cables out of reach, and give your dog somewhere quiet to relax during busy celebrations.

If you suspect your dog has eaten something toxic, contact your vet promptly. The RSPCA also shares helpful advice on keeping pets safe at Christmas, including which festive foods and household hazards to keep out of their reach.

Which Christmas Treats Are Suitable for Dogs?

Small portions of plain cooked turkey without bones or seasoning, sweet potato and dog-specific Christmas biscuits can be suitable festive treats. Avoid chocolate, raisins, grapes and rich festive foods, and keep treats to a small part of your dog's normal diet.

How Can You Make Christmas Special for Your Dog?

Enjoy a festive walk, take family photographs, offer a new toy and spend some extra time playing together. Keep your dog's normal routine where possible and provide a quiet place to rest. Whether you're buying for a dog lover, dog walker or dog dad, a thoughtful, practical gift can make Christmas special and help create plenty more muddy adventures in 2027.
