December is a wonderful time of year, and it can also be hectic and stressful as we gear up for holiday festivities, family gatherings, parties, and friends visiting. The house gets decorated, and everything is beautiful and bright, lots of food preparation, and shiny wrapping paper everywhere. If you have a pet, all the hustle and bustle around the house can be stressful, and the pretty lights and sparkling ornaments can prove enticing. We have some helpful tips and tricks to keep your pet safe. Several of these safety tips are good general rules for all year around, but a few of these are very specific to potential hazards at this time of year.
While planning your holiday activities, just take a few extra moments to make sure your pet is accounted for in an effort to help keep them safe. Most likely your veterinary office will be closed for Christmas and/or New Year's day, making it a better plan to be safe than to have to find your local pet emergency hospital. Don't forget to include your pet in your activities, and if you happen to have some extra time off during the holidays, try and spend some of that time bonding with your pet. Taking the dog for a walk is a great way to burn off the holiday treats. 😁
