Ways to Spend Christmas with Your Pet


Christmas is a season of connection, warmth, and love - and that includes the furry companions who bring joy to our everyday lives. The holidays are a perfect time to slow down and savour moments together. Here are ways to spend quality time with your pet this festive season.

Include Them in Family Photos & Enter Our Competition!

The holidays are all about togetherness, and what better way to capture that than with a photo featuring your beloved pet? Whether it’s a professional portrait or a spontaneous snap by the tree, these photos become treasured keepsakes of the joy you share.

To make it even more special, share your photo with us and enter our festive competition "Paw-liday Moments with Purina" for the chance to win a Christmas Gift Pack valued at $50.

Create a Pet-Safe Christmas Tree

Decorating the tree is a cherished tradition, and your pet can be part of it too. Choose soft, pet-friendly ornaments and avoid tinsel or fragile glass baubles. Make sure the tree to secure to prevent from tipping, and keep cords tucked away. Add a few pet plush toys or treats as ornaments just for them - it’s a fun way to include your pet in the festivities. Check out our new TOTAL CARE, which includes cat toys and dog toys.

Share a Special Holiday Meal

While you're preparing a delicious spread for your loved ones, why not include your pet in the celebration? Whether their favourite flavour is chicken, turkey, beef, or seafood, Purina has a variety of protein packed option to make their holiday just as joyful. View the Purina range.

Wrap Up Pet Presents

Gift giving is more fun when your pet gets involved! Wrap up a few toys, treats, or cozy accessories and let them tear into the paper. Not only does it make for a bonding experience but a shared tradition you can enjoy with your family.

Host a Pet-Friendly Christmas Party

Invite fellow pet lovers for a holiday gathering where pets are welcome. Set up a play area, serve pet-safe treats, and enjoy the company of both two- and four-legged friends. It’s a wonderful way to socialize and celebrate the season with your extended furry family.

Support a Pet Charity Together

Spend time giving back by visiting a local shelter or making a donation in your pet’s name. You can even volunteer together if your pet is social and well-trained. Sharing kindness with others deepens the bond you have and spreads the holiday spirit. Did you know that Purina partners with a number of shelters across Australia?

This Christmas, the greatest gift you can give your pet is your time. Whether you're cuddling on the couch, playing in the yard, or simply sitting together by the tree, these shared experiences create lasting memories and deepen the love you share.
