Pet Holiday Safety

If you love a pet, you know that they are as much a part of the holiday as the dearest family member. 

The absolute last thing you want is to lose a precious companion during the holidays.  So here are a few precautions to take.

Put foods away when you are not around to supervise.  Given enough incentive even the most well-mannered pets can be driven to food that is fatal because of its smell or visual lure.  This includes permanently securing the garbage can so that bones, sharp cans and/or glass can’t be ingested or lodged in the throat.

Guard against choking hazards.  These span the gamut from small toys to screws, pins, tree hangers, and small ornaments.  While this may be easier said than done, the extra visual and physical sweep of the floor can literally add years of holidays to your pet’s life.

Be careful with the chords.  The holidays seem to call for cords everywhere.  And since most of these are in evidence only during the holidays, they are new and can be fascinating to your pet. 

Most pets explore with their mouths and paws both of which can be deadly.  Watch your pet around the cords and use your voice to discourage any interest they might show.

Reward them with your voice when they leave it alone. If interest persists, enclose the wires in a plastic cable or tuck them out of sight as best you can.

As one who did not grow up with pets, no one is more surprised at the deep and abiding love pets generate in my heart and I’m sure in yours.  So be on guard with these tips to keep your pets safe and your heart in one piece!
