Here are some of the steps you should take to protect your pets this holiday season.
As a pet owner, the health and safety of your furry friends is always a priority. This is why you should be thinking about ways to keep them safe over the holiday season. Because the holidays introduce their own risks for your pets, it's important to take precautionary measures. Here are some of the things you need to think about.
If you are using decorations such as tinsel and seasonal plants this holiday season, make sure you keep them out of your pet's reach. Tinsel, ornaments, and holiday plants (like holly, mistletoe, and poinsettias) can be dangerous if your pet consumes them. Additionally, keep delicate ornaments and lit candles out of reach, as your pet might accidentally knock them down.
While your family can enjoy many delicious holiday treats, remember that many human foods are not safe for your pets to eat. For instance, foods like chocolate, raisins, tomatoes, dairy, and even turkey can be toxic for your four-legged friends. Even if the food isn't necessarily toxic, many holiday foods contain too much sugar, salt, and fat to be safe treats for your pets.
If you are having a lot of guests over, it's important to give your pet their own little space away from all the commotion. Even the most relaxed animals can become overstimulated and stressed when there are a lot of new people in their territory. Because an anxious pet can become skittish, attempt to bolt, or even try to bite, it's better to keep your pets in their own space when you are entertaining holiday visitors.
