What better way to celebrate the season than by taking your doggo to meet Santa Paws? Or dressing them up in an elf suit?! Your pup wants to party with you, so sit down, grab some hot cocoa, and scope out the best event in a city near you:

This Pet Expo on December 1 and 2 is a holiday pups-stravaganza: in addition to Santa’s village, there’s an interactive art exhibit for dogs, goat yoga, a treat bar, and an orchestra performance! And it’s only $10, benefits Artists for Animals, DFW Pup Patrol, and Operation Kindness. Sign us up!

The Annual Vet and Pet West Gaslamp Holiday Pet Parade in San Diego, CA

Imagine your dog decked out in holiday gear, trotting alongside a bunch of other pups in festive attire. And then imagine that parade ends with a costume contest and a holiday Pet Market. If that sounds like your dream day, then sign up for this parade on December 16 for just $15 (in advance.)
