Here are some essential pet safety tips to keep your furry friends safe and happy this Thanksgiving:1. Mind the Menu: Keep turkey bones, skin, and fatty foods out of reach—they can cause digestive issues. Avoid giving pets any foods with onions, garlic, grapes, or raisins, as they can be toxic.
2. Limit Table Scraps: Instead of sharing human food, set aside pet-friendly treats. Foods like plain sweet potatoes, green beans, or pumpkin (no spices or additives) are safe in small amounts.
3. Watch for Dangerous Decorations: Be cautious with candles, table decor, and plants like lilies or poinsettias, which can be harmful if ingested.
4. Secure Trash Cans: Pets can be curious about tasty-smelling leftovers, so ensure the trash is sealed and out of reach to prevent accidental ingestion of harmful items.
5. Create a Quiet Space: Holiday gatherings can be overwhelming. Provide a calm, quiet area for your pet to relax if things get too loud or busy.
6. Watch the Doors: With guests coming and going, make sure your pet doesn't slip out unnoticed. Keep their ID tags and microchip info up to date just in case.
By taking these precautions, you and your pet can enjoy a safe and joyful Thanksgiving! 🦃🐾
