Holiday Dangers for your Pets

Each season comes with its own dangers for your pet.
While you and your family maybe having a spooktacular time sorting through a 
bag of treats, make sure your pets don't share in the fun. 
Chocolate can be toxic to dogs and cats! 
Be sure to let us know if they get into any of your Halloween treats.
Believe it or not, Thanksgiving is right around the corner. 
Did you know that dogs are not supposed to have onions?
NO STUFFING FOR FIDO! One thing we can be thankful for...a lid for the garbage can!
Keep it latched on tight, because your pets don't need to share in your bounty. 
That means NO turkey legs, stuffing or pumpkin pie! If they stick to their regular meals 
they (and you) will be thankful when they get to skip a visit to our office the very next day.
And Christmas... The stockings hung by the chimney with care... 
All the tinsel hung perfectly on the tree... Your kitty hanging gracefully 
right where the star used to be! Anyone who has ever had a cat knows that 
just having a tree is gift enough for them. They can spend hours batting at 
your favorite breakable ornaments... eating the tinsel... and getting back to nature by climbing 
right up the center of your perfectly set tree! If it is at all possible,
skip the tinsel
Toy mice are much more safe... and fun. A cat that eats the tinsel will get more than 
they bargained for. That could end up meaning the gift of surgery in the following 
days if that tinsel does not pass through!
Broken glass from ornaments can also be 
a hazard to any pet. If you don't celebrate Christmas... don't think that those 
Chanukah lights won't attract your kitty!
Candles can be bad any time of the year for 
a cat that likes to play with fire! And watch out for those chocolate coins. 
Chocolate + Foil = Surgery! 
So, enjoy the holidays with them, because your pets really are part of your family. 
Just remember that they need a little special care during this busiest time of the year!
