The holidays are coming! At this time of year, there's often a lot of excitement. Special decorations go up, special foods are put on the table, and holiday activities begin. If you're a pet owner, this season can bring challenges. Keeping up with your cat or dog's health can be difficult. These three tips can help you through the holiday season.
Get Help With Walks
If you have a dog, it needs to go out for a walk at least once each day, even if you're busy with holiday events. To keep up with your dog's exercise needs, hire a professional to take your dog for walks at midday, or get help from other members of your household. Make a schedule that calls for each person in your home to take turns walking the dog.
Put Holiday Sweets and Decorations Out of Reach
Holiday sweets, especially chocolate, fudge, and anything that contains baker's chocolate can be toxic for pets. If your pet is large or clever enough to access foods on the counter of your kitchen, keep these baked goods in containers with secure lids. Educate anyone who comes to visit about the importance of not feeding your pet human foods. For a full list of human foods that could cause your pet to get sick, talk to your pet's veterinarian. Put holiday decorations out of reach as well so they aren't damaged, and to prevent hazards caused by knocking them over.
Avoid Toxic Holiday Plants
Some holiday plants, including holly, mistletoe, and poinsettias, are toxic for pets. If you like having these plants around the house, keep them out of your pet's reach, or use artificial plants instead. If someone gives you a plant as a gift, find out from your pet's veterinarian if that type of plant is also toxic.
