Written by CAA Niagara | Dec 22, 2023 2:40:18 PM

The holiday season is a time of joy, celebration, and togetherness – not just for humans, but for our beloved pets as well. As we decorate our homes, prepare festive meals, and enjoy the company of friends and family, it's important to keep in mind that the holiday season can present some unique challenges for our fluffy companions. To ensure safe and happy paw-lidays for everyone, we've compiled some tips and tricks for pet owners, along with an exciting social media contest to add a touch of fun to the festivities

 

Tips and Tricks for a Pet-Friendly Holiday Season:

Mind the Decorations:

  • Secure your Christmas tree to prevent curious pets from knocking it over.
  • Avoid using tinsel, as it can be harmful if ingested.
  • Place ornaments and lights out of reach to prevent pets from chewing on them.

Pet-Friendly Treats:

  • While indulging in holiday treats, be mindful not to share certain foods with your pets, such as chocolate, nuts, and anything containing xylitol.
  • Consider preparing special pet-friendly treats to include them in the festivities

Quiet Retreats:

  • Provide a quiet and comfortable space for your pet to retreat to if the holiday hustle and bustle becomes overwhelming.

Travelling Safely:

  • If travelling with your pet, make sure they are secured in a well-ventilated carrier or restrained with a pet seatbelt

Temperature Control:

  • Keep an eye on candles, fireplaces, and space heaters to ensure your pet doesn't get too close and risk burning.
