A christening is one of those beautiful family moments you will remember forever.
The outfit is chosen, the godparents are ready, the family are coming together and your little one is about to have a very special day.
But what about their furry sibling?
If your dog is a huge part of your family, you may already have found yourself wondering:
“Can I take my dog to a christening?”
And if your church and celebration venue are happy for them to attend, why shouldn’t they be part of the family photos and memories too?
Because They’re Part of the Family
For many of us, our dogs were our babies before the human babies arrived!
They’ve been there through pregnancies, sleepless nights, first cuddles and the slightly confusing moment when this tiny new person suddenly appeared in their house.
So when the whole family gathers for your child’s christening or baptism, it is completely understandable that you might want your furry family member there too.
The practical side, however, can be slightly trickier.
Who’s holding the lead while you’re carrying the baby? Who takes the dog outside if they need a toilet break? Who makes sure they have water, are comfortable and aren’t trying to investigate the buffet while you’re busy talking to Great Aunt Margaret?
That’s where we can help.
Your Own Dog Chaperone Service
Pets 2 Places can provide a tailored dog chaperone service for your child’s special day.
We can collect your dog, provide safe dog transport to the church or venue and stay with them while they join the celebrations.
Perhaps you want them there for the church service and family photographs.
Maybe you’d like them to make a superstar appearance at the reception before heading home.
Or perhaps you want them included for the whole celebration while someone else takes care of all the walks, water, comfort breaks and doggy logistics.
We can tailor the day around what works for your family and your dog.
One Less Thing for You to Think About
A christening should be about enjoying your family, celebrating your little one and making memories.
You shouldn’t have to spend the day wondering who’s watching the dog.
Our pet taxi and chaperone service means your dog can be included without putting the responsibility onto grandparents, godparents or other guests who should be enjoying the day with you.
Always check with your church and celebration venue beforehand to make sure dogs are welcome, and then let us help with the rest.
Because when you look back at those family photographs years from now, perhaps there’ll be one waggy-tailed member of the family sitting proudly alongside you.
After all, your baby’s big day wouldn’t be quite the same without their furry sibling there too.
