The New Year is a time for fun and festivities, but it can be overwhelming for our pets. Here are some quick tips to keep your cats and dogs safe and comfortable during the celebrations:
1. Fireworks Anxiety: Loud noises can scare pets. Create a quiet space for them with their favorite toys, use calming aids, and keep them indoors during fireworks.
2. Decorations: Secure cords and avoid using toxic plants like mistletoe or holly. Keep small items like tinsel out of reach to prevent choking hazards.
3. Party Precautions: If hosting, ensure pets have a safe, quiet spot to retreat. Watch for open doors to avoid escapes.
4. Food Safety: Keep human foods, especially chocolate, alcohol, mince pies and grapes, away from pets. Secure trash bins to prevent scavenging.
5. ID Tags and Microchips: Ensure your pet’s ID tags and microchip information are up to date, just in case.
With a little preparation, you can ensure a safe and happy start to the New Year for both you and your pets!
