The holidays can be strange and trying times for the pets in your lives. A lot can be going on, and needless to say, there can be quite a few more temptations for your dog or cat not to pass up.
The people at MyPetCareTV.com have some tips to help you and your pet to pass the holidays in safety and in good health:
House guests should be reminded not to feed the pets human food, especially fatty foods and candy.
Leave pets in safe areas or outdoors during dinner parties when you are too occupied to watch them.
Be sure pets wear identification tags at all times. Visitors can inadvertently let your dog or cat out.
Keep candles out of the reach of pets.
Dangly ornaments or table decorations can be hard for a pet to ignore. Ingested decorations can require a visit to the veterinary emergency room.
If you are traveling by car with your pet, plan ahead to ensure that you can find hotels that accept pets.
If traveling by air, try to get a direct flight. Check the expected temperature of your destination airport. Luggage carts stranded on the tarmac or sat in a plane for hours while it is delayed.
If you are staying at a pet-friendly hotel and you need to leave your pet unattended, put a "do not disturb" sign on the door. You don't want housekeeping to accidentally let your pet out.
