Pet Proof Your Holidays
Posted on | December 20, 2007 |
I spend the holidays with at least 6-7 dogs. While it is fun to cuddle and play with all of them, there’s also a lot of mayhem and barking!
Have a safe holiday season with your pets with these tips from the American Kennel Club (AKC):
- Daily routines change during the holidays, but try to maintain a feeding and walking schedule as close to your dog’s normal routine as possible
- Keep your driveway clean. Anti-freeze is attractive but lethal to pets. Ice-melting chemicals and salt are harmful to your dog’s paws
- Avoid feeding your dog table scraps and sweets
- Avoid decorating with popcorn or cranberry strands, tinsel and glass ornaments and keep small decorations out of your dog’s reach
- Consider using an artificial tree.Tree water and pine needles are harmful to dogs. Other holiday plants which are toxic to dogs are poinsettias, holly and mistletoe.
Happy Holidays!!!
