Christmas treats for your pets

The Festive Season is a busy time for most people with lots of shopping to do, parties to attend, presents to wrap and plenty of cooking and eating to get through!

If you’re worried your pets will feel a little left out while you’re busy preparing for and celebrating Christmas, then visit the SPCA Vet Shop in Plumstead, which has a wide range of doggy treats and toys, guaranteed to keep your dog happy and well-behaved these holidays.

Here are a few more tips for the festive season:-

•Give your dog a new chewy toy on Christmas morning to keep them busy while you’re cooking and entertaining. Pick durable chew toys that will last for longer than the holidays.

•Fill their Christmas stockings with treats such as dry sausage, chews, hooves and biscuits so that you are not tempted to give them tit-bits from the Christmas table that may upset their tummies.

•‘tis the season of giving so remember to spoil your furry friend with something special, such as a new collar and lead, squeaky ball, chewy soft toys or scratch post for cats.
