Winter Pet Tips
Here is some advice on keeping our pets safe during the cold.
Check your engine - Check underneath your car, bang on the hood, and honk the horn before starting the engine to make sure a cat hasn’t taken refuge on your engine.
Keep your pets inside when cold outside.
Protect their paws from the cold surfaces.
Clean up spills and store antifreeze out of reach.

New Year's Eve Pet Safety Tips:
* Make sure any foods or drinks are kept away from your pets.
* If there is going to be loud music and other loud noises, have a quiet room with soothing music where you can put your pet if they feel anxious. Also use cat or dog pheromone or medication to help decrease anxiety.
* Having family and friends over for a party? Keep doors closed. If your pet needs to go outside, make sure that they can't run away if they get scared from a loud noise. Keep them on a leash or fenced in yard.
* Have identification on your pet - microchip, collar or ID tag.

World Monkey Day
Was first celebrated on December 14, 2000.
Primates are in peril in today’s world. Primates include four major groups—monkeys themselves, along with the great apes, lemurs and tarseirs. According to the IUCN Primate Special Group, about 500 species exist today, distributed across Asia, Africa and the Neo-tropics (Central and South America). But the total number of known primate species continues to rise—91 new species have been discovered since 2000! At the same time, taxonomists are constantly revising primate taxonomy, often splitting or lumping species.

There are many celebrations this time of the year. Here are some safety tips:
* Keep your pets away from the lit Menorah and lighted candles, holiday decorations, holiday plants and trees, ornaments, tinsel, wires and batteries.
* Keep toys and game pieces out of reach to avoid accidental ingestion.
* Chocolate is toxic and wrappers can cause intestinal issues.
* Ingestion of Christmas or Hanukkah treats, like latkes, sufganiyot, cakes, pies, fruitcake, and other treats can cause gastrointestinal issues, including vomiting and diarrhea.
* Avoid feeding your pet human food and drinks including bones, onions, alcohol, fatty or spicy foods.

December abounds with holiday celebrations, and nothing can spoil good cheer like an emergency trip to the veterinary clinic. These tips can help keep the winter holiday season safe for pets.
