Keeping Pets Safe & Healthy This Christmas

We wish you and your pets a safe, calm, and enjoyable festive season. By staying mindful, choosing high-quality treats, and creating a comfortable environment, you can help ensure your pets remain healthy and happy throughout the holidays 🎄🐾

When in doubt, go simple, natural, and vet-approved.

Be mindful of extra people, noise & excitement

The holidays can feel magical for us, but overwhelming for pets. 

With guests coming and going, kids running around, and new smells everywhere, make sure your dog has a quiet, cozy space to retreat to.

A little “calm corner” goes a long way in helping them feel safe and settled through the festivities.

Watch out for sneaky table snacks

Christmas food is delicious…but often unsafe for pets. 

Politely remind family and friends not to slip your dog treats under the table (no matter how cute the puppy eyes are!).

Foods like stuffing, chocolate, gravy, and salty meats can cause tummy upset or can be toxic to pets. Keep a bowl of pet-safe treats nearby so your pup can still join in on the celebrations.

Skip the cheap festive treats

It’s easy to get caught up in the festive rush, as Christmas-themed treats look fun.

However, many Christmas products for pets can contain harmful ingredients that aren’t the best for your pets.

Rawhide is often found in Christmas products for Dogs - this can be very dangerous, and can make them poorly.

It’s important to choose safe options which will keep your pets healthy long after the decorations come down.

We look forward to sharing more guidance, resources, and pet-care tips with you soon.
