Whether your purchase cards or make your own, everyone has the same problem: What do you write?
Writing “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Holidays” before signing your name is standard—but a little boring.
A sentence or two extra shows thoughtfulness and also helps fill out the card (I can’t be the only one who’s bugged by blank space on the cards they write).
We’re here to help with some dog-related cute and funny Christmas quotes for cards.
Of course, these phrases would make even more sense if there was a dog on the front of the card.

Tips for Taking Dog Christmas Photos for Cards
If you’re making your own dog Christmas cards, taking a photo of your dog can be the hardest part. Although every pup is adorable, not all of them are great at taking photos. Some look away for the camera while others just can’t stay still. Here’s our tips to help you get a great photo:
- Use treats. Yep, bribery does work. Use small training treats instead of large treats so you can give him many to encourage him. Let him sniff the treat and make sure he sees where you place it. Place it near the camera, either on top of it or next to it. Knowing it’s there, he’ll stare and it and into the camera.
- Teach basic training. Taking good photos is going to be a lot easier if your doggo knows the words “sit” and “stay.” For example, when you position him and say “stay,” if he knows a treat follows almost every command, he’s likely to listen. This way, he won’t be running around or looking away in the middle of a shot.
- Tire him. Your doggo is a lot less likely to keep moving if he’s already drained of his energy. Plan an activity before your Christmas card dog photoshoot. This could be a long walk, an intense game of tug-of-war, or anything else that gets him physically and mentally stimulated.
- Take many photos. You can’t take 10 or even 20 photos and expect there’s going to be a winner. It can take many shots to get the best one. Trust me, it always takes me longer than expected.
- Take a break. Going with the point above, since dog photoshoots can take a lot of time, take breaks between to allow your dog to relax. If you want several different types of photos, consider breaking the photoshoot up into 2 or more days.
