Well folks we are coming up to the festive season, it should be a happy jolly time but according to the experts the most stressful time of the year.
This can also apply to your pets, people get more visitors at Christmas and so they should, but hopefully this will not upset the pet to much, they may not be used to a lot of folk around them, especially children.
All dogs and to an extent cats, will make a fuss of your guests when they first arrive at your house.
If there are a lot of people turning up at once he will do his rounds and then want to be left alone, if possible grant him his privacy and place him in another room if possible.
Of course some dogs will always hog the limelight, and this is when they could be seriously injured.
What you say in the house, with people keeping an eye on him, yes without a doubt folks.
Think about the dangers all around the pet.
*Beer and spirits, it will not take much to get a dog drunk, and a drunk dog could turn into a seriously ill animal.
You may have a double whiskey on the floor next to you maybe with a mixer in it.
Grannies Yorkshire terrier might think my that smells nice, and drink it.
Yeah it looks funny, but the alcohol level in this drink is liable to put grannies dog in a coma or worse.
"Do not leave booze lying around" *Chicken oh well that wont hurt my dog, "oh yes it will" if you leave the bones in it will certainly injure your pet.
I do not feed my dog chicken at any time, simply because the are pumped full of steroids and antibiotics.
*Candles now they are safe we use them every Christmas, I agree with you they look and smell great but whereabouts have you got them.
Not lit on the fire hearth I hope, singed noses and whiskers spring to mind.
Keep them up a height so the animal cannot knock them over " fire hazard".
*Artificial snow ah it looks nice on the windows of course it does, but spray the tops of the windows please away from the pets.
If they start to lick it you may find it damages your animal, these products are potentially poisonous folks.
*Fairy lights, try to keep these as tangle free as possible folks and keep the loose cable at the back of the tree, so your pet cannot trip stumble or eat it.
Try and fix the tree so it will not fall over if bumped.
This is just a few tips for you folks, I am sure you will come up with some of your own just be aware of the surroundings, and remove any hazards before they become a problem.
I know this is a hectic time of year, but do try to keep your pet to the animals regular routine.
Above all have a marvelous Christmas season with your family and friends, and please keep an eye out for elderly neighbors.
All the best folks Chris.
