Happy Pawlidays from Dr. Judy Jasek and the AHA Team 🐾☃️🎄The holidays are stressful for all of us and our pets are no exception. Here are some to keep your furry family happy and healthy during the busy holiday season:
Nutrition Tips:
✔️Be sure to keep you pet on its regular diet as much as possible.
✔️A few extra meat snacks are fine, but too many will throw its diet out of balance.
✔️Always avoid breads and baked goods and limit any starchy items such as potato or rice.
✔️If you have guests over, have plenty of healthy treats available for you pet so they are less likely to feed something inappropriate.
Stress Reducing Tips:
✔️Keep the routine as normal as possible! This includes meal and walk times. You pet is a creature of habit and will feel more stressed if the schedule changes dramatically.
✔️Sometimes pets get less attention when we are busy, but walks and play time are especially important to schedule in!
✔️There are often dog walking services or you can ask a teenager in your area if you are running out of time to spend with your pet.
