Must read: Thanksgiving Safety Tips for Pet Parents
As we gather with family and friends this Thanksgiving, it’s important to keep our furry family members safe and stress-free. Here are some helpful tips to ensure a paws-itively wonderful holiday:
- Secure trash and leftovers: make sure trash cans are covered and leftovers are stored properly to prevent pets from sneaking an unsafe snack.
- Monitor stress levels: with all the excitement of guests, loud noises, and extra activity, pets can get stressed. Create a quiet space for your pet to relax if needed.
- Watch for door dashers: with more people in and out of the house, it’s easy for pets to slip out unnoticed. Make sure doors are securely closed, and always have your pet’s collar and ID tags on.
- Don’t overfeed: a small bite of turkey or pumpkin is okay, but remember, too many treats can upset your pet’s stomach. Moderation is key!
We hope these tips help keep your Thanksgiving safe and fun for both you and your pets.
