Holidays are not only a great time to celebrate with your friends and family, but also your Service Dog. Here are 10 great ways to celebrate the holidays with your Service Dog:
1. Make Them Special Holiday Cookies

After all, everyone deserves treats over the holidays.
Here is a great 3 ingredient dog treat recipe that we found from Munchkins and the Military.
Bonus: If you are giving some treats out to fellow Service Dogs, here are some great free printable gift tags from Hip2Save, which you can add to the jar. Check them out here.
2. Put Up a Special Tree Just for Them
Just make sure that it is up high enough so they don’t bump into it!
3. Buy Them Something Special
They may not know what the holidays are, but they will still enjoy the present.
4. Walk Around and Look at the Christmas Lights
Grab your furry friend, a hot chocolate and enjoy the sights and sounds of the holiday season.
5. Take a Holiday Photo
