It’s the holiday season, and when it’s cold out, nothing is quite as nice as cuddling up next to your family pet. No one is nicer (or warmer) this time of the year.
Nylabone, a dog toy and treat manufacturing company, encourages families to think of their pets this coming holiday season by making sure they stay safe and enjoy the holiday season just as much as their loving, human family. Follow these tips for a safe and enjoyable holiday season with your pet.
-Watch the sweets. While we love the chocolate-covered everything and sweet goodies galore that come with the holidays, our pet friends really can’t eat those things. Make sure to keep them out of reach (and out of sniffing zone) so your pet doesn’t accidentally find them.
-Low rise. Sometimes we forget that our pet friends are just a tiny bit shorter than us (usually). Be sure to keep low-hanging and tiny ornaments out of reach.
-Faux is the way to go. While holiday shrubbery is a festive way to add natural color to your seasonal decor, make sure they aren’t dangerous to your pet’s stomach. Some of the holiday plants can even be toxic to pets like dogs and cats. If they are, keep them out of reach or opt for something fake (and equally as chic) instead.
