The Holiday Season is Officially Here for our furbabies. The month of December in New England offers one of the best backdrops for the holidays. When the holiday season arrives, we are always thinking about how to decorate our homes and fun holiday events we can take our children to; however, there are never enough events promoting the Christmas or Hanukkah Season when it involves our pets. Pet owners have spent 136 Billion on their pets, about $730 a year. So here are some ways to bring your pet into the Holiday Season:
Pet Events
Pet night with Santa: Bring your pet to Holyoke Mall from 5 to 7 pm on December 4 at Cafe Square. You can even commemorate the night with a picture where they can let Santa know what they want under the tree this holiday season.
Santa Paws at BearMoose Brewery– You enjoy a pint while your fur baby gets a stocking full of treats and a picture with Santa. Red Dog Resort and Spa will also be on hand as well. The dog must be on a leash to attend. December 9th, 1–4 pm, and Santa will appear at 2 pm.
Dog Parade at Christmas Stroll: Bring your dogs in their holiday finest and meet us on the Calvin C. Gould Green for a stroll around the village. Prizes and treats will be awarded! December 9, Osterville, MA, at Osterville Library 11 am
Santa Paws Pet Pics: Santa Paws is visiting us at Hyannis Country Garden! Bring your dog to see us on December 10 and enjoy a pet-friendly holiday photo op. Please bring your own camera or smartphone, or we’ll take a picture and post it on our site! All well-behaved, leashed dogs will get a treat from Santa, and we’ll have special surprises, too.
Hyannis Country Garden 1 pm-3 pm on December 10
Prudential Center Pet-Friendly Santa in the City– Santa is back in town to greet young believers and furry friends. Little ones can share their wishlist, furry friends can get a quick snuggle, and everyone will leave with a picture to cherish. December 17, Sunday, 3 pm to 6 pm.
- Paint Your Pet at Park-9 — Park-9 Dog Bar- Sip a beverage and paint a picture of your favorite pet. Register online and upload the cutest picture of your pet by December 4 to participate in the class, and it will be sketched out for you the day of the event! This class is also a great opportunity to create a portrait of a friend or loved one’s pet for a holiday gift. While bringing your dog to Park-9 is typically always encouraged, we found that wagging tails and paint don’t exactly mix, so leaving your pal at home for the night is recommended.
