🎄🐶 Christmas Dinner & Your Dog – What’s Safe? 🦌

Before those puppy-dog eyes convince you to share your Christmas dinner, here’s a quick guide to what your dog can and can’t enjoy this festive season 🎅🐾

✅ Safe (in small amounts):
• Plain turkey (no skin or bones)
• Salmon (fillets or cooked in spring water – not smoked)
• Lamb (no bones or string)
• Green beans
• Brussels sprouts
• Parsnips
• Carrots
• Peas
• Swede
• Mashed potato (no butter)
• New potatoes
• Sweet potatoes

⚠️ Top tips:
Introduce new foods slowly, avoid fatty or salty foods, and reduce their normal meal if you’re giving festive treats to prevent overindulging.

🚫 Dangerous Christmas foods for dogs:
❌ Chocolate
❌ Mince pies, Christmas pudding & cake (raisins/sultanas/currants)
❌ Onions, garlic, leeks & chives (including gravy)
❌ Alcohol
❌ Macadamia nuts
❌ Leftovers (hidden ingredients & mould)
❌ Sweets containing xylitol

❗ If you think your dog has eaten something they shouldn’t, contact your vet immediately.

Let’s keep our pups safe, happy and festive this Christmas 🐾🎄

After seeing someone talk about how easy dog walkers have it and how much money we apparently make on the show “I’m a Celebrity… Get me out of here”, this is a little post highlighting how untrue this statement is.
Us dog walkers work extremely hard, all year round, outdoors in some of the worst weathers, often 7 days a week. We don’t have a team of people to run our business for us while we “play with dogs all day”.
Yes we walk your dogs but we’re also running a full time business. This involves endless hours of bookkeeping, social media management, accounting, client onboarding, contracts, educational courses, invoicing and everything and anything in between.
We pour so much time and money into our business; buying a constant supply of walking boots, coats & waterproofs, endless towels, spare coats for all dog sizes, poo bags, treats, paying for required courses and qualifications, upgrading and maintaining vehicles, spending a FORTUNE on fuel (other dog walkers will back me on this one 😅), that by the time you take all this into account, we’re often barely making minimum wage, or sometimes even less than.
So no, we do not just “play with dogs all day and make a fortune” - very far from it in fact. But despite all of this, we love our jobs with our whole hearts and souls, and wouldn’t change it for the world. 🐾
Thank you to every single one of my clients for supporting me and my business, as without you, Happytails.suffolk would be nothing more than an idea ❤️

Loose lead walking isn’t about “heel!” with a yank. 🚫

It’s not about scaring your dog into staying beside you.

It’s about teaching your dog to match your pace—naturally, calmly—until it becomes habit. 🐶💛

No force. No fear. Just connection.

Let’s get those leads smiling across Suffolk! 🌳✨
