Hosting a Dog-Friendly Christmas: Treats, Toys and the Best Grain-Free Food Picks

DECEMBER 17,2025

Christmas is one of the most exciting times of the year, but for our dogs, the sudden change in routine, guests coming and going, and rich festive foods can be overwhelming, especially for pups with sensitive stomachs. So, to host a dog-friendly Christmas, it’s important to create a cosy, calm environment while ensuring your furry friend enjoys the celebrations safely and comfortably.

This Christmas, Simply Jaspers comes to the rescue, whether you’re planning a quiet holiday at home or a lively family gathering. Here’s how to keep your dog’s digestion happy and their tail wagging all festive season long.

How To Prevent Digestive Upsets During the Holiday Season

Choose Gentle, Clean Ingredients for Your Dog’s Festive Treats

Foods like chocolate, mince pies, stuffing and rich dishes can be harmful to dogs and often cause digestive distress. We recommend sticking to dog-approved treats rather than sharing from your plate. So, why not pop our irresistible Simply Jaspers Luxury Treats into a stocking or Christmas Eve box for a festive surprise they can enjoy safely?

Packed with natural ingredients, our tasty little bites come in four amazing recipes:

Simply Jaspers Luxury Collection White Fish Lite Bites: Made with 70% White Fish, potato, and a selection of delicate herbs that won’t upset their tummy, these mouth-watering, low-calorie snacks make the perfect festive nibble.

Simply Jaspers Luxury Collection Game Stix 5 Pack: Treat your pup to something truly special this Christmas. These luxurious sticks are crafted with venison and duck, sweet potato and delicate herbs, a wonderfully natural recipe to keep your dog feeling their best throughout the festive season.

Christmas Toy Ideas

A dog-friendly Christmas is more than just treats. Mental stimulation helps them keep them calm and occupied while guests are around.
A way to alleviate their stress during the joyous period is to provide a calm, safe environment for our furry friends.

To help them handle the excitement of the season, behaviourists recommend safe chew toys because they promote rhythmic activity and help soothe stress. Just be sure to choose toys that are the right size for your dog so that they can enjoy them safely throughout the celebrations.
Hide pieces of Simply Jaspers Luxury Treats inside a festive snuffle mat. This encourages slow feeding, which pairs beautifully with hypoallergenic dog food for pups with sensitive stomachs.
Reindeer, gingerbread men or candy cane plush toys with treat compartments offer gentle brain stimulation. Fill them with small bites of Simply Jaspers’ grain-free treats for dogs on a hypoallergenic diet.
Or treat your pup with a cosy Christmas Eve box filled with a festive squeaky toy, a pack of Simply Jaspers treats and a sample of our Hypoallergenic & Grain Free dry dog food, choosing between our nutritious Chicken & Butternut Squash or our anti-inflammatory Lamb & Butternut Squash recipe.

Final Thoughts

Hosting a dog-friendly Christmas does not need to be complicated. Giving your guests a heads-up on your dog’s diet and providing a mouthwatering main course packed with hypoallergenic and grain-free food for your dog, you can create a festive (and safe!) celebration for all, including our tail-waggers. With gentle nutrition, safe treats, some well-deserved playtime and a little planning, you can keep your dog relaxed, healthy and happy.

That’s what the holidays are all about!
