Thanksgiving is a time for family, but it’s important to keep your pets safe during the holiday festivities. Avoid feeding your pet human foods like onions, garlic, or chocolate, which can be toxic to them. Make sure they have a quiet, safe space to relax if things get too chaotic.

If your pet is anxious around guests or new people, consider giving them extra comfort or distraction with a favorite toy. Let’s keep this holiday safe and stress-free for your furry family members!

How to Recognize and Manage Stress in Pets

Is your pet showing signs of stress? Pets can experience anxiety from changes in their environment, loud noises, or even separation. Watch for behaviors like pacing, excessive grooming, or hiding—these can all be signs your pet might be feeling overwhelmed.

As the weather cools, it can be harder to keep your pet active outdoors. But keeping your pet physically and mentally stimulated indoors is just as important for their health. Try interactive toys, puzzle feeders, or even indoor games like fetch or hide-and-seek.

Indoor activity helps prevent weight gain and keeps your pet from getting bored or anxious during the colder months. Regular exercise is key to maintaining their well-being, no matter the weather!
