More employers are adding pet-related benefits as part of their workplace culture. This article from Employee Benefit News highlights how companies are recognizing the important role pets play in daily life and why support for pet care is becoming more common.

At whiskerDocs, we believe this shift reflects something pet parents already know. Pets are family, and having access to reliable pet support can make everyday life a little easier.

Tip of the Week: Keep the Door Zone Safe During Holiday Gatherings
With guests coming and going, doorways become high-risk zones for pets. Even well-behaved dogs or cats may slip out unnoticed with the excitement and foot traffic. According to the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), your pet could dart outside and find itself lost, injured, or involved in a vehicle accident.
Quick Tips
• Designate a quiet room where your pet can retreat and feel safe when there’s a crowd.
• Use baby gates or barriers to keep pets out of high-traffic entryways.
• Double-check that your pet’s microchip and identification tags are up to date, since this is the time when escapes often happen.

Make this holiday gathering safe for all members of your family, both two-legged and four-legged.
