Celebrating Hanukkah with Your Dog

Hanukkah is a great time to spend with friends and family. So, how can you celebrate Hanukkah with your furry friend?

Presents

We look forward to giving gifts to our loved ones for 8 days. So, Fido shouldn’t be left out! You can gift your pal treats, outfits, or anything else they will love. Or, you can bring joy to others and have your furry friend do the giving. Wrap up the presents and have your companion deliver them to your loved ones.

Treats

So many delicious foods are a part of the Jewish tradition. However, they are unhealthy if they are shared with your dog. So, you can give your companion some alternatives so they can still be a part of the traditions. Instead of latkes you can give your pal plain baked potatoes. Additionally, lean beef is a great alternative to brisket and carob chips can be substituted for gelt. Be sure to feed your pup plain, unseasoned foods this holiday season.

Outfits

Cute and festive outfits are a fantastic way to celebrate with your furry friend. You can find festive collars, leashes, and accessories. Or, if your pal likes wearing clothes, hats and sweaters are always fun too! It is even more fun to coordinate and match outfits and accessories with your companion.

Safety

The health and safety of our furry friends is the most important thing we can do. So, be mindful of any hazards from food to decoration. Make sure outfits and accessories are comfortable and non-restrictive. Additionally, keep your menorah in a safe place to avoid any fire hazards. Always keep an eye on your pal to ensure they are not getting into any mischief. Also, keep the trash locked away and any leftovers stored away.

Use the ideas above as inspiration to enjoy this holiday season with your furry friend!
