Holiday Survival Tips to keep your pets happy and safe this festive season;
๐Clean up rubbish (food and presents) quickly and carefully. Ensure they are completely out of reach of your pet or in a secure bin to avoid moments like this!
๐No sharing human food. Do not share any food or drinks with your pets. It is safest to make it a blanket rule of no sharing as so many foods can be very dangerous to pets. And make sure guests/visitors know too.
๐Create a quiet, safe, isolated place for your pet to go and get away from a noisy environment. Make sure guests know that area is off-limits.
๐Keep them safe or locked up when people and cars are coming or going. Open doors and gates are the perfect opportunity for escapees. More cars and unfamiliar drivers can increase the risk of your pet being run over.
๐Keep Christmas decorations and lights out of reach. Inquisitive dogs and cats may like to play or chew decorations which can lead to disastrous accidents.
๐Don't force your pet to interact with people or other pets if they don't want to. This could result in anxiety or uncharacteristic aggression.
๐Be understanding that your pet may be more stressed by the extra people and activities around the holiday season.
