These doggy Christmas biscuits can be made all year round, but why not treat your dog to something extra special and festive?

Quick 5-Ingredient Tasty Treats
Save your dog from eating anything it shouldn’t on Christmas Day. Human foods, especially meats and gravy, can be too rich for your dog, particularly if they have a sensitive stomach.

If you’re looking for an affordable way to personalise a gift for your pup this Christmas, you might need to think outside the box… literally! Gather up your dog’s favourite festive toys and teddies in a personalised toy box. You can purchase a plain wooden crate and decorate it with your dog’s name and lots of seasonal items. The whole family can get involved and add their own personal touch too!
Paw-some Pooch Stockings
Everyone deserves a Christmas stocking, even your dog. This gift idea is great for the whole family as you can all make a personalised stocking each. You can decorate them in reds, greens, glitter, and more! DIY Stockings can be used year after year and be the start of a wonderful tradition for everyone to enjoy. You can fill your dog stocking with perfect doggy presents they can enjoy all year round.
Reclaimed Fabric Soft Toys
Have you got any worn out jeans? Or, perhaps you have some outgrown kids' clothes. What if we told you that these could be made into some brilliant Christmas gift for your dog? You can dye your fabric festive colours or cut it into Christmas shapes. Stuff your material with a soft cushion filling, sew it together, and you’ve got a great gift that reduces fabric waste and saves you splashing out on brand new toys.
