Just like you, we know that dogs are a much-loved part of the family and they couldn't possibly go without a few treats at Christmas.
It's likely that your dog already has a few treats in the cupboard at home but we love the Christmas dog treats (and advent calendars!) which really get them involved in the festivities. After all, if you get to tuck into delicious food in December, so should they!
Many of the things we humans love to eat and drink at Christmas aren’t safe for dogs, so why not swap them for pet-friendly festive treats instead?
To give you some inspiration, we've rounded up our very favourite – and tasty! – options available for you to spoil your beloved bestie with.

Don't forget
Remember, it is important to give treats to your dog responsibly. Your dog should receive a minimum of 90 per cent of their daily calorie intake from their actual food, and 10 per cent or less from supplemental food or treats.
Karen Heskin, Head of Pets at Pets at Home adds: "As with all tasty treats, they shouldn’t be used to replace a balanced diet. Treats should be given as an addition to their daily meals and only as a training tool or a reward for good behaviour. When your house is full of people and delicious smells over Christmas, you might want to slip your dog a treat or two as a way of thanking them for being good and well-behaved around guests and temptations."
