Pet Safety: Christmas

Christmas can be a very overwhelming time for our furry friends. Here are a few suggestions for how to put your pet at ease so they can enjoy the day as well.

1. Play hide and seek with some toys. Give them a KONG filled with wet dog food, peanut butter, or any of these recipes: https://www.kongcompany.com/recipes/

2. A nice long walk- burn some energy.

3. Give some extra cuddle time.

Here are your Christmas safety tips!

1. Check your dog collar, ID tags, and microchip information to make sure it is all up to date. We never want to search for a lost pet during “the happiest time of the year”.

2. Be aware of any items that your pets may want to chew on and eat. Tinsel, ribbons, ornaments, wrapping paper, etc. Things like that can cause blockages and even be lethal to your pet.

3. Do your research on Christmas plants before bringing any home. Some are toxic to our pets.

4. Sweets are for humans only. Please do not share your sugary treats with your pets. Some are even toxic to your pets. If you want to give your dog a treat, you can check out this healthy, but tasty list: https://iheartdogs.com/12-healthiest-human-foods-for-dogs/

5. Make sure your tree is well anchored so your pet can’t pull it over.

6. Safe presents- Chewy.com is a great and cheap place to buy all your pets needs.

7. Traveling with your pet- if you are traveling with your pet, make sure they are secure in a crate or a pet seat belt for theirs and your safety.

8. No surprises- remember pets are for the pets entire life, so please do not give pets as gifts. A great alternative is maybe a coupon for a trip to the near buy shelter or breeder.
