So, this time let your pet be a part of the celebrations and bring a ‘paw’sitive change.

Here are some ways in which you can include your furry friend in the holiday spirit –

The next time you are hosting a lunch or party, include your pet in it. You can invite your pet’s friends at home for a treat. And if that is too difficult to manage, make your pet the guest of honour for the party. Prepare a special holiday meal for your pet using safe and healthy ingredients. Ensure the menu aligns with their dietary needs.
