The holiday season is here, and Fort Worth is brimming with festive activities that you can enjoy with your furry friend. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, here are some paw-some ways to make Christmas fun for your pets in and around Fort Worth.


Take a Walk Through Gift of Lights at Texas Motor Speedway: Experience the magic of millions of sparkling lights at the Texas Motor Speedway’s Gift of Lights drive-through display. While pets must remain in your vehicle, it’s a great way for your pup to enjoy the glittering lights while cozying up in the back seat.


Attend a Pet-Friendly Holiday Market: Fort Worth holiday markets, like the Cowtown Farmers Market, often welcome pets. Stroll through the aisles with your dog, enjoy live music, and shop for unique gifts—some of which might even include goodies for your pet!


Holiday Photos with Santa: Many pet stores and local businesses offer photos with Santa for pets. Check out Fort Worth’s big-box pet stores like PetSmart or local favorites like Hollywood Feed, where your fur baby can meet Santa and pose for a memorable holiday photo.


Visit the Stockyards’ Holiday Events: The historic Stockyards turn into a winter wonderland this time of year, complete with holiday decor, carriage rides, and festive activities. While walking through the Stockyards with your pet, don’t forget to stop at the pet-friendly stores and admire the Christmas tree and twinkling lights.


Join a Christmas Pet Parade: Some neighborhoods and organizations host festive parades that are open to pets and their owners. Dressing up your dog as a reindeer or elf could be your ticket to winning “Most Festive Pet” this year.


Cozy Outdoor Dining at Pet-Friendly Restaurants: Fort Worth boasts several pet-friendly patios where you and your pet can enjoy seasonal treats. Hot chocolate for you and a puppuccino for your furry friend make for a delightful combo! Check out spots like MUTTS Canine Cantina or Woodshed Smokehouse for outdoor dining options that welcome pets.


Go on a Nature Walk or Hike: Escape the hustle and bustle with a relaxing stroll at one of Fort Worth’s scenic spots, such as the Fort Worth Nature Center & Refuge or Trinity Park. Bring your pet along to enjoy crisp winter air and stunning holiday-themed nature sights.


Host a Pet Holiday Party: Invite friends and their pets to your home for a festive holiday celebration. Decorate cookies, swap pet-themed gifts, and let the fur-babies enjoy holiday-themed toys or treats together.


Support Local Shelters: Spread holiday cheer to animals in need by supporting Fort Worth’s local shelters, such as Saving Hope or PAWS Protecting Animals of White Settlement. Consider donating pet supplies or volunteering with your pet to help brighten someone’s Christmas.
