Because No Holiday Card Is Complete Without a Dog in It

Let’s be honest—when your friends open their holiday cards, they’re not looking for your handwriting.
They’re looking for your dog.

That’s right, December 9 is Christmas Card Day, and at DogStoreOnline, we’re celebrating the season with wagging tails, twinkling lights, and the undeniable truth that dogs make every card better.

Whether your pup is the star of your photo shoot or just photobombing in the background (with antlers on, of course), today’s the perfect excuse to start snapping, printing, and sharing your pup-filled cheer.

📸 Tips for the Paw-fect Holiday Card Photo

1. Dress for the season
Try a holiday bandana, bowtie, or matching hoodie. We love a little sparkle, plaid, or red-and-green pop!

2. Get on their level
The best dog portraits happen when you’re eye-to-eye—so crouch, sit, or lay on the floor to meet them where they are.

3. Use natural light
Position your pup near a window or outside for that soft, golden glow.

4. Keep it candid
Don’t stress perfection. A tilted head, mid-yawn, or excited wiggle can be the most magical moment.

5. Include the whole family
Match outfits, coordinate colors, or just pile onto the couch. Bonus points if someone is holding a dog-shaped mug.
