Tips for having your pet during your big day

Here are some key tips so that everything goes perfect at your pet friendly wedding!

Use a leash to keep him close when necessary

Because? We know that animals can be excited or even stressed in a wedding setting, with guests, music and activities. A leash allows you to keep your pet under control and secure it when it is on the move.

Choose a comfortable, sturdy leash, attached to a suitable harness instead of a collar, to avoid pressure on the animal’s neck.

Prepare a special menu for your animal

Make your pet feel like an honored guest! She deserves a good wedding meal too.

We recommend that you talk to your veterinarian for recommendations on the right foods for your pet.

So, prepare special portions in advance and carry them in airtight containers to maintain freshness. Also make sure you have treats to reward and calm your animal throughout the day.

Make sure someone cares for your animal during the ceremony or consider hiring a sitter

During the ceremony, it is important that your pet is well cared for to avoid distractions and ensure that they do not feel abandoned or stressed.

You can designate a friend or family member who knows your animal well to take care of it. If this is not possible, don’t worry! You may also consider hiring a professional, such as a pet sitter, who can monitor and care for your companion during the ceremony and key moments.   Prioritize your well-being!

Pay attention to the volume of the music so as not to scare your animal

Loud noises can frighten animals and cause anxiety, which can affect their well-being and health, as well as disrupting the progress of your wedding.

Talk to the DJ or music team to maintain a moderate sound level during times when your animal is present. It is also essential to provide a quiet, secluded venue so that your animal can retreat if the noise becomes too intense.

Familiarize your animal with the location before the wedding

Have your pet visit your wedding venue ahead of time! Familiarizing yourself with the venue before the wedding day helps your animal adapt to the surroundings, thereby reducing stress and anxiety on the big day.

Organize a prior visit with your pet so that it can explore the different venues of the place. Make sure he spends time familiarizing himself with the different areas, the people present, and the sounds he might hear on the day of the ceremony.

Repeat with him the role he will play to prepare him

If you want your pet to play a specific role in the ceremony, we advise you to train it to perform specific tasks or behave in a certain way on the wedding day. This will help you avoid surprises and ensure that she is comfortable with her role.

Train her to wear props or perform specific actions during dress rehearsals, such as wearing the rings. Don’t forget to reward her with treats and praise to reinforce desired behaviors.

Inform guests and the team accompanying you about the presence of your animal

Informing guests and wedding professionals about the presence of your animal helps manage potential allergies and fears, ensuring everyone feels comfortable on the wedding day.

You can mention the presence of your animal on the invitations and inform the photographer, organizers and affected guests in advance. Also be sure to point out any potential allergies or specific fears so that appropriate action can be taken.

Create a small corner with food and water so your animal can retreat when needed.

Animals need a venue where they can rest and cool down, especially during an event as long as a wedding.

Set up a quiet, accessible area with fresh water, food, and a comfortable place for your animal to retreat and relax at any time. Make sure this venue is located in a quiet area, away from the hustle and bustle of the celebration.
