The holiday season often brings excitement but also overstimulation. Your dog may notice changes in your schedule, visitors coming and going, and shifts in emotional energy. Just as you navigate these adjustments, your dog needs support in staying calm and regulated. Maintaining steady routines helps anchor your dog when everything else feels different. Keeping familiar feeding times, daily walks, and rest periods helps them stay emotionally balanced.

Thanksgiving is about connection and appreciation, which makes it a perfect holiday to celebrate with your dog. Dogs remind us to slow down, live in the moment, and find joy in the smallest things. Whether they are resting at your feet during dinner or greeting guests with a wagging tail, they remind us what unconditional love looks like. This year, take a moment to include your dog in your family’s gratitude traditions.
