How to Keep Your Pet Calm and Happy During the Holidays

🎄 A Peaceful Holiday Season for Your Pet – Tips and Natural Support

The festive season brings joy to us humans, but for many pets it can also be a time of stress. Travelling, guests, unfamiliar sounds, and especially fireworks may disturb your dog’s or cat’s sense of security. Fortunately, there are many ways to help your pet stay calm and enjoy the holidays.

🕊️ Start early – don’t wait until the last minute
Calming supplements and pheromone products take time to work. Most begin to show results within a few days, and you’ll get the best effect if you start before the holiday rush.
Preparing in advance also reduces your own stress – knowing you’ve done what you can for your pet’s wellbeing.

💡 Tip: Start 3–5 days before Christmas or New Year’s Eve and continue afterwards if needed.

🐶 Helping your dog stay calm during Christmas and New Year
For many dogs, fireworks and the general commotion are the main sources of stress. Travel and visitors can also be unsettling.
Here’s how you can help your dog relax:

• Create a quiet, safe space where your dog can retreat.

• Exercise and play earlier in the day to reduce excess energy.

• Keep the TV or radio on to mask loud noises.

• Use calming supplements or pheromone products if needed.

Natural aids for dogs:

• 🐾 Zylkene® – milk-protein based supplement that promotes relaxation.

• 🌿 Calmex® – contains amino acids and herbal extracts to ease stress.

• 💧 Adaptil® – pheromones that help dogs feel safe even in new environments.

🐱 Supporting your cat through the festive season
Cats are sensitive to changes in their environment and routine. Holiday guests, travel, or fireworks may cause hiding or unusual behaviour.
To help your cat stay calm:

• Keep your cat indoors before and after New Year’s Eve.

• Provide safe hiding places, such as boxes or the cat carrier.

• Leave the TV or radio on to soften sudden noises.

• Use calming supplements or pheromone diffusers if needed.

Recommended products for cats:

• 🐾 Zylkene® – natural support for mental wellbeing.

• 💧 Feliway® – helps create a safe and familiar atmosphere.

• 🌿 Calmex® – with L-tryptophan to support calm behaviour.

🎆 A little effort goes a long way
Preparing early and caring for your pet’s emotional comfort can make the holidays peaceful and stress-free for both of you.

💚 Make this festive season gentle and safe – for dogs and cats alike.
