We want to take a moment and send out a big, huge THANK YOU to all who donated during our November pet food drive! Your generosity has helped feed several pets in need this holiday season. We are so grateful for your kindness and participation!

We also want to thank Dr. Carey for delivering these donations. The photo attached is the fourth and final drop off that was made to the CT Humane Society Pet Food Pantry. ❤️

Powder Ridge Post – December 2025

Holiday & Winter Safety
The holidays are upon us! This time of year tends to move fast, and our routines can go flying right out the chimney. Please remember that our pets are creatures of habit—and they can easily pick up on our stress. Try to keep their daily routine as normal as possible. Setting reminders for monthly preventatives, daily supplements, and medications can be helpful. You can also offer your pet a safe, quiet place to retreat, and if needed, contact us for a refill of their calming medication.

Holiday visitors may be tempted to offer your pet an extra treat or two, but this can come with risks. Set expectations before guests arrive, and consider creating a designated “approved treat” station to keep everyone on the same page. Remind visitors to avoid harmful human foods such as onions, grapes, raisins, and chocolate.

Seasonal decorations make our homes warm and festive, but they can also be hazardous. Keep tinsel, wires, batteries, and glass ornaments out of your pet’s reach, and do not allow pets to drink Christmas tree water. Be cautious with candles and wax warmers—pets can easily burn themselves. Secure your trash lids and remove garbage from the home whenever possible.

With cold weather arriving, be mindful of increased risks such as toxic antifreeze. Store antifreeze and other household chemicals safely out of reach. Outdoor animals may seek warmth from car engines, so if your cat has access to your garage or driveway, lightly tap your car’s hood before starting the engine.

Short-haired, senior, young, or ill pets may need extra protection in cold temperatures. Coats, sweaters, and jackets can help, and pet booties can offer protection from salt and ice. When possible, limit outdoor time on extremely cold days and avoid salted areas, as salt can irritate and injure paw pads. Remember: if it’s too cold for you, it’s probably too cold for your pet!
