It doesn’t have to cost much and many pets will appreciate
things that are totally free, like a favourite game, a special bit
of fuss or an extra walk with your dog – which will help you to
walk off some of the Christmas dinner too!
Why not join them in a game of hide and seek or teach
them a new trick to impress everyone on Christmas Day?
Money-saving presents are easy to make yourself. Use an empty
cardboard box stuffed with used, torn wrapping paper for them
to play with - turn it into a lucky dip by hiding their favourite
treats inside.
Cats love to play detective and this simple game will
fascinate and entertain them for ages. Place a favourite treat
or small piece of de-boned turkey or tuna inside a screwed
up paper ball and watch them work out how to retrieve the
treasure.
Cats also love to play with cotton reels and old yoghurt pots.
Drag a piece of string along the floor or dangle it in the air for
them to chase – but never leave them on their own with it as
they could swallow it by mistake.

Give your pets a merry little
Christmas this year with a gift
they will really enjoy.
Don’t forget smaller or outdoor pets too – rabbits also love
a game of hide and seek so leave cardboard boxes out for them.
You could make a tunnel out of them too.
Remember, some pets find all the visitors and excitement
a bit too much so always make sure they have somewhere
safe to go and hide if they want to.
