The countdown is officially on! November is here, which means it’s time to grab your Santa hats, dig out the Christmas jumpers, and get ready for the most festive weekend of the year - Pawfestivities!

Happening on 29th–30th November, Pawfestivities is back and bigger than ever - a magical Christmas experience for dogs and their humans, filled with local traders, festive stalls, delicious treats, and of course, Santa Paws himself! 🎅🐶

Before the big weekend arrives, here’s your guide to making the most of November with your pup - from festive prep to winter care tips, and a few exciting surprises from our sponsors.

1. Wrap Up Warm for Winter Walks ❄️

As temperatures dip, those early morning and evening walks can get chilly!
Keep your dog cosy with:

• A snug jumper or coat (especially for short-haired breeds)

• Paw balm to protect against salt and ice

• A reflective lead or light-up collar for dark mornings

✨ Top Tip: After a cold walk, dry their paws and reward them with a cosy blanket and a treat - instant happiness!

4. Festive Treats to Try at Home 🍪

Why not start the celebrations early with some Christmas baking for your pup?
Try making apple & cinnamon dog biscuits - they smell incredible and are full of festive flavour.

🦴 Combine oat flour, grated apple, cinnamon, and water, then bake until golden.
Perfect for stocking fillers (yes, your dog deserves one too!).

5. Keep Your Pup Calm Amid the Festivities 🎆

While we love the sparkle and music of the season, some dogs find the excitement a bit much.
To keep things peaceful:

• Create a “quiet zone” at home for your dog to relax

• Keep routines steady, even during the busy festive weeks

• Bring treats and toys to Pawfestivities to keep them happy in new surroundings
