Happy Thanksgiving from Happy Pets Animal Hospital! As you gather with loved ones and enjoy delicious feasts, remember to keep your furry friends safe during the festivities. Check out these essential pet safety tips for a worry-free holiday celebration:
- Keep pets away from the kitchen to avoid accidents and burns.
- Ensure trash cans are secure to prevent your pets from digging into potentially harmful leftovers.
- Don’t share Thanksgiving dishes with pets, as some human foods can be toxic to them.
- Keep decorations, like candles and table centerpieces, out of reach to prevent curious pets from knocking them over.
- Be cautious with guests and remind them not to feed your pets any table scraps.
- Consider creating a quiet space for your pet to retreat to if they become stressed or overwhelmed by the festivities.
- Make sure your pet’s ID tag and microchip information is up-to-date in case they get lost in the holiday commotion.
- Supervise children and pets when they interact, ensuring safe and gentle handling.
- If you suspect your pet has ingested something dangerous, contact your vet or an emergency pet clinic immediately.
