Keep your holidays merry and bright—and safe for your pets! 🎄

Holiday Lights: Secure cords and keep them out of reach to avoid chewing accidents.

🎀 Ornaments: Choose shatterproof decorations and place fragile ones higher on the tree.

🎁 Tinsel: Pretty but dangerous! It can cause serious health issues if swallowed, so it’s best to skip it altogether.

Let’s make the season safe and joyful for the whole family—four-legged members included! 🐾❤️

After a snowy walk, don’t forget to wash off those paws! 🐾 Salt, ice, and chemicals can irritate your dog’s skin or even cause them to lick something harmful.

A quick rinse helps keep their paws clean and comfortable, so they can enjoy the snow safely. ❄️

Thanksgiving Safety Tips for Pets from Switzer Veterinary Clinic 🐾🦃

1. No Table Scraps 🍗: Keep human food out of reach. Foods like turkey skin and onions can be harmful!
2. Secure Trash Bins 🗑️: Prevent access to garbage; bones and fat trimmings can be dangerous.
3. Create a Quiet Space 🛏️: Set up a comfy area for your pet to retreat to during holiday chaos.
4. Avoid Decorations 🕯️: Keep candles and toxic plants (like poinsettias) out of reach.
5. Plan for Guests 👥: If your pet is anxious around strangers, consider using a leash or crate.

Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving! 🐶❤️
