You know how you feel exhilarated, exhausted, excited and overwhelmed during the holidays? So can your pets, and what’s worse is that they don’t even really understand what’s exactly going on. Why *can’t* they play with the ornaments on the shiny tree you put out? In fact, why put a tree inside a house at all if you’re not planning on using it for potty breaks?

And, how’d it get so cold outside? Why do our pets’ coats seem to lack some of the lusters of the carefree summer days? Why does this time of year bring on so many travel plans—many of which leave our pets missing their consistent pieces of home?

So many questions, but the good news is that we have all the answers for pampering our pets this holiday season – check them out!

Houseguests, late nights, loud music and new surroundings can leave even the most laid-back pet on edge. Here are some great products to combat holiday stress.
