Holiday essentials and tips you can find at Global Pet Foods

Toys to keep your pets occupied
Whether entertaining company, wrapping gifts or spending more time out of the house, we need to offer our pets alternative stimulation in place of regular activities. There are many options from automatic laser pointers to food dispensing puzzle toys, or long-lasting chews.

Calming and soothing products
With disruption to routines, pets that are prone to anxiety have an even harder time during the holidays. There are a variety of products available that offer support for these animals. Pheromone diffusers, calming garments and supplements are all available, so it is likely there is a solution for every pet.

Diet considerations for winter
Routines change during winter months with the colder temperatures and shorter days. Some pets  don’t enjoy being outdoors as much and activity levels may decrease. Feeding wise, if activity levels decrease, so should the calorie intake. Simple changes like reducing food volume or the amount of treats fed are great ways to adjust calorie intake. Changing to a lower calorie or lower carb diet may be a good option.

Pet apparel & foot protection
Protections from winter hazards is important for pets. For those without a sufficient haircoat, jackets and sweaters might be necessary. Consider the effect of cold, ice and salt on foot pads. Boots and balms help to prevent frost bite, cuts and irritation.

Gifts for 4-legged family members
Pets are part of the family, so of course they should receive holiday presents!  A fun new toy, cozy bed or fashionable collar is a great way to include pets in holiday traditions.

Special holiday treats
Our pets love Holiday treats just like we do. Traditional holiday flavours like gingerbread, pumpkin, cranberry and turkey can be enjoyed by everyone, including pets! There is even delicious pet-friendly eggnog!
