Your Pet’s Home for the Holidays
If you think your Aunt Betty’s travel stories stress you out, think about the stress your pet must feel when his territory is invaded by strange humans, often for days at a time.
Pet experts have endless advice for helping pets survive the holidays; here are some of the most important:
Keep table scraps to a minimum. Your pet is already nervous with the change in his routine. Changing his diet too by adding rich human food is bad for his stomach and could backfire on you when your home is full of guests. Trust me on this one ~ been there, done that!
Pets crave routine. Keep to regular feeding and walking schedules to minimize the stress on your pet.
Keep temptations for your pet to a minimum. Put new toys, gifts, wrappings food, drink and other items out of your pet’s reach, or you could be making a trip to the vet to remove a foreign object from your pet’s stomach just when it’s time to sit down to a family dinner.
Just always keep in mind that the holidays are stressful for our pets just as they are for us humans. Heck, just watching us run around like a crazy person trying to get everything done is enough to stress them out.
