🎆 Celebrating looks different for everyone. 🐾❄️

Fireworks come from every direction on New Year’s Eve, and while people are celebrating, many pets and wildlife feel the stress long before midnight.

At Raw Pets®, we see it in our own pack. Kali, Major, and Roscoe (yes, even our bird dogs) struggle more with fireworks and thunder as they get older.

And yes — that includes Roscoe.
Even spicy Roscoe turns into a scaredy cat when the fireworks start (if you’ve met him, we know that’s hard to believe). Extra Heal CBD is his personal favorite - he goes straight for the strong stuff.

Then there is Enzo who may be a big boy, but he’s also a big baby — tucked into his blanket, shimmying and shaking in Charlotte’s lap until the noise passes.

🕒 From experience: calming works best when it’s already in their system before the fireworks start. Plan ahead.

On our website, head to the “Shop” and in the Issues section select “Calming.” That’s where you’ll find the calming supports we trust and use with our own pets. We’ve also included the direct link below to make it easy.

✨ These calming supports help:
• Take the edge off fireworks & loud sounds
• Support anxious or restless behavior
• For dogs and cats

⏰ Holiday Store Hours Reminder
• New Year’s Eve: Both stores close at 3:00 PM
• Reopen Friday, January 2 at 10:30 AM – 6:00 PM (regular hours)

The Raw Pets packs night will include a cold night, warm blankets, snacks, and a few big babies who’d rather skip the fireworks. Happy Pre-NYE 🐾❄️✨

🎄🐾 From Our Pack to Yours 🐾🎄

What we do has always been about the dogs and cats who are part of our world —
the ones who visit us in person
and the ones waiting at home for boxes to arrive 📦🐶🐱.

Every tail wag, every familiar face, and every well-loved pet reinforces why this work matters.

Thank you for trusting us with your pets’ food, their health, and the care that supports them through every stage of life.

However you’re celebrating today, we hope it includes warm moments, happy pets, and time well spent with the people who love them.

🎄 Wishing every good dog and cat — and the humans who adore them — a very Merry Christmas 🐾🤍

’Twas the night before Christmas at Raw Pets,
The freezers were humming, packed full and just right.
Goat milk was frozen, bone broth sealed tight,
With jiggles stacked neatly, organized just right.

Beef tripe and organ blends, frozen and clean,
Raw meals stored carefully, just as they should be.
Every protein and portion, responsibly sourced,
Rested cold in the freezers — kept frozen, of course.

Out on the shelves, all orderly and neat,
Freeze-dried treats waited — a dog’s favorite treat.
Herbs stood in rows for balance and care,
With mushrooms and CBD to support pets everywhere.

The dogs in their Santa suits wiggled with cheer,
Dreaming of treats Santa soon would bring near:
Elk straps and bully sticks, stacked nice and tall,
Duck heads, rabbit feet, ears, gullets — and all.

Then Santa stepped in with a nod and a smile,
Admiring the store, he lingered awhile.
He looked at the freezers, the shelves, and the store,
“This,” Santa said softly, “is how pet food food should go.”

No fillers, no guessing, no shortcuts in sight —
Just clean food and guidance done simply right.
And as he slipped out beneath Tampa’s calm night,
He called back with cheer in the soft Christmas light:

“Feed them real food, keep it simple and true —
Keeping pets healthy from nose to tail®…
Merry Christmas to you.” 🎄🎅🏼🐾

Let’s clear something up because the comments created their own storyline.

Nowhere did the original post say pup cups kill dogs.
People read that into it. Not the message.

Here’s what was said and what still stands:
Sugar + dairy + processed additives are not harmless for dogs.
Not daily.
Not “once in a while.”
Not because “they love it.”

Dogs are not biologically built for this:

1️⃣ No salivary amylase
Dogs don’t start breaking down sugars in the mouth like humans so the pancreas has to do the entire job later.
2️⃣ Limited lactase
Dairy is hard to digest and often inflammatory.
3️⃣ Pancreatic overload
Every time sugar, dairy, and carbs hit the gut, the pancreas works overtime to produce enzymes humans begin making in the mouth.
4️⃣ Additive Ingredients
Many whipped toppings contain carrageenan, mono/diglycerides, stabilizers = ingredients known to disrupt the microbiome and contribute to inflammation.

Will one pup cup send your dog to the ER?
No.

Will repeated “once in a whiles” add up to inflammation, gut imbalance, and pancreatic strain?
Yes. That’s biology.

And the “my dog LOVES it” argument?

That’s not nutrition.
That’s human emotion projected onto an animal.

Dogs get excited about anything especially when we hype it up.
Some even “love” eating their own p**p (often a nutrient-deficiency issue… but that’s for another post 😆).

“They love it” or “they deserve a treat” is a human-made idea.
Humans decided that — not the dog, and definitely not their biology.

The Holiday Pup Cup Situation 🎄🐾
About those pup cups…

Let’s be honest about why pup cups exist.

They’re cheap.
They’re easy.
They require zero thought.

You pull up to the drive-thru and hear:
“Do you want a pup cup?”

And just like that, a cup of whipped cream is handed over as if it’s a thoughtful dog treat.

It’s not.👎

A pup cup is sugar + dairy —
no fiber, no balance, no nutrition.

That sugar hits fast, straight to the gut.
And the gut is the immune system.

Repeated sugar exposure doesn’t just mean loose stools or gas. It contributes to inflammation, allergies, gut imbalance, yeast issues, autoimmune stress, pancreatitis — and yes, it fuels cancer.

And when those issues show up later?

“No, it couldn’t have been the pup cup.”
(It definitely contributed to it)

The holidays already mean more treats and less routine. Add a whipped-cream sugar hit on top of that and the gut tips out of balance fast.

If you’re going to include your dog in holiday treats, choose better.

Healthier Snack Ideas
Raw goat milk
Bone broth
Raw goat cheese
Puréed pumpkin

Top with real food
Freeze-dried raw treats
Sardines
Fruits & Veggies
Organ meat & raw body parts

Your dog still feels included — without the fallout.

Pup cups are easy.
Inflammation, allergies, gut damage, and autoimmune stress are not.

Choose real food instead of sugar.
Say 🚫 no to pup cups.
