Trina's Tip of the Month
December is another busy month to spend special times with family and friends. All of us pet lovers want to include our furry friends as well. Please remember some safety tips for our four-legged friends.
Mistletoe, holly, and poinsettias are all toxic. Please keep them out of reach.
Keep pets away from Christmas tree water. This generally has chemicals added to it. This is also a breeding ground for bacteria as it tends to remain in the home for several weeks.
Tinsel and other decorations are attractive but hazardous to both dogs and cats. How much fun they would have racing around the home, but this too can cause digestive upset, intestinal blockage or even cuts from glass decorations.
Avoid leaving candles lit while not supervised.
Keep your pets on their regular diet and exercise program. This will help avoid stress both mentally and physically on their bodies. Please use caution when discarding bones, these should be taken to an outside trash to avoid pets ingesting the cooked bones that splinter easily causing blockage or tearing of the intestinal area.
Provide your pets a safe place to avoid all the festivities. Some pets become overwhelmed with the increase of people and or children in their home.
Put pets away when setting out snacks. We all enjoy our chocolate and nuts but they should be avoided by our pets.
With the extra decorating, please make sure wires are tucked away. Pets like to chew on this rubbery surface and can suffer severe burns.
Please make sure your pet is wearing a collar with an ID tag. With all the commotion it is easy for them to slip out a door. This will help ensure a safe return should they wonder off.
