For cute pictures of your pooch in a Santa hat, use the “Does this hat make my nose look big” caption and call it a day! A special thanks to our Italian Greyhound Gizmo for posing so we can show you most of these Funny Christmas Card ideas for your dog!

Odds are you have a million photos of your pooch. Put them to good use and use a witty tag line to create a quick holiday e-card to send to the family!  If your picture is high quality, have it turned into an actual card and send it via snail mail!  If you don’t have a lot of pictures, I’m sure your doggy will give you lots of great poses and material to work with.  Suggestions: put him/her in a festive costume and give them some festive props to play with!  Make sure to have your camera on hand and start snapping away. Aren’t sure what props to use? What about colored tissue paper? Hide treats under a wrapped gift so they look like they are peaking at the presents early, wrap a treat in tissue paper and have them quickly un wrap it and use a holiday tag line. (I’ve even put cheese in a Christmas tree to make it look like our fur baby was being sneaky in the picture).  At the end of these tag lines or inside the card you can use a common line like, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Years from the [family]

A little hat an red nose turned this Italian Greyhound into Rudolph for a funny holiday pet card. Grrrrreetings to you and yours this holiday season! Love, Gizmo! Granted, our IG does not  have a red nose, we photoshopped one on along with a little Santa hat.


A little photoshop fun brought Buddy the Elf, his girlfriend, Fur-Santa and Mrs-Fur-Clause together this Christmas! Love the pooches holiday costumes!  For more information on this piece: the dogs were photographed together in the same frame along with the tree. The background of the images was removed.  Our heads were photoshopped into the elf costumes which were edited into the frame.

Christmas Card Ideas for your Dog: use a picture of your pet sniffing in your holiday card. When paired with the ‘Reindeer tracker’ caption it’s pur-fect!

This quick picture was snapped during the first snow and turned into an e-card for our friends. It’s one of many Christmas Card Ideas for your Dog (but not necessarily funny)

If you can wrap your dog up in Christmas lights and get him to sit for you, this is a great Christmas card saying to use: May your days be merry and bright!

A lot of people are against dressing dogs up (especially if they don’t have a small dog that needs to wear clothes to stay warm in the winter). If your friends or family fall into this category (or it is obvious your dog hates wearing clothes), this type of saying might be great for your doggy Christmas card!

Then, for those creative and graphic design savvy pet owners, you can always paste your pooches head on a persons body for a funny card! Check out Gizmo this year with some mistletoe!

That wraps up our Christmas Card Ideas for your Dog but check back frequently as we will update the photos and sayings when we think of something else!
