Pet Parents Alert 🚨 New Year’s Eve Pet Safety Tips. Follow these tips for a safe and fun New Year's Eve for you and your Pets 🎊🐾

PET SAFETY ON NEW YEAR'S EVE

Do not bring your dog to a fireworks event/display.

Leave your pet inside and play soft music to help block the sounds of the fireworks. Curtains, carpet and/or mats help soundproof rooms.

Exercise your dog before the fireworks commence. A tired dog is less anxious.

Be sure all pets, including indoor cats, are microchipped.

Stuff a Kong or other work-to-eat toy with special treats during the fireworks. This will serve as a distraction.

Do not punish your dog or raise your voice during periods of fireworks use.

If it is absolutely necessary to be outside with dogs during firework displays, ensure each dog is secure on a leash or harness.

Please know that more pets run away on evenings/early mornings of high fireworks use. Ensure that you pet is in a secure environment.

Buy your coat to keep your pet warm and cozy and at the same time support a very special cause for children. It is an event that is celebrated every year called The Marathon of Hope and this year it is celebrated in an orphanage in Costa Rica. 🇨🇷 Pooch Love is supporting this beautiful mission and invites you to join.

WHAT CAN FIDO EAT ON TURKEY DAY?

The aromas saturate every corner and crevice of your home. Turkey, green beans, pumpkin pie…the delectable bouquet encircles each of us as we await the savory treats.

Those canine eyes will be upon you as Fido’s olfactory system kicks into overdrive. Fully aware of the delicacies on hand, the pooch’s frenzy has begun. He, too, wishes to celebrate the 1621 gathering of Pilgrims and Wampanoags in Plymouth.

Fortunately, many of the most common, traditional Thanksgiving dishes are suitable and healthy for your canine.

Turkey contains protein, riboflavin and phosphorous…all of which are beneficial to your dog. So long as there are no bones present, turkey is a healthy option!

Sweet potatoes and pumpkin contain fiber, beta carotene and essential vitamins. Assuming that your dish does not include marshmallows or brown sugar, Fido is good to go. Regular potatoes, however, should be avoided. Some recent research, using foods containing regular potato, raised concerns regarding canine dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Raw potatoes contain a toxic substance called Solanine… a glycoalkaloid poison found in the potato (Solanum tuberosum), the tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and the eggplant (Solanum melongena). While it appears that large amounts would need to be ingested, and that certain forms of cooking may destroy Solanine, you may wish to avoid sharing these foods with your dog.

Additionally, potato skins are high in Oxalates and, while it would require large volumes of potato skins to cause serious damage to your dog’s kidneys, we recommend avoiding potato skins.

Green beans are an excellent side-dish to share with your dog. Loaded with vitamins and minerals and fiber…low in calories…green beans are a winner. Ensure that your green beans are free of garlic and/or onions, as they are toxic to canines.

Lastly, cranberries, in small quantities are acceptable. Cranberries contain vitamin C, potassium and fiber. Dogs can safely eat raw, dried or cooked cranberries, however, remember that the dish must not include raisins…which are quite toxic. Cranberry sauce, however, is high in sugar and should be avoided.

Always speak with your veterinarian regarding foods and diets best suited for your particular pet!

As Lee County prepares for what appears to be a potent storm, the LCSO Animal Cruelty Task Force asks that all pet owners include their pets in their hurricane preparations.

Cape Coral Animal Shelter, located at 325 SW 2nd Avenue in Cape Coral, has generously offered to provide dog/cat crates for anyone needing them.

If you home is susceptible to flooding, PLEASE do not leave pets in crates in areas that may potentially fill with water.

Following the storm, in cases of an emergency need for pet food, please contact Gary Levine, via email, at [email protected]. Supplies are limited.
