- Keep Pets Away from Toxic Foods: Common treats purchased during Christmas are actually harmful to animals. Keep pets away from foods such as nuts, grapes, xylitol which is found in sugar-free products, liquorice, holly and mistletoe as they are toxic to animals.
- Keep Christmas Decorations Out of Reach: Most of us buy decorations to adorn the Christmas tree. Ensure you place your tree on a table or desk so that pets can’t reach it. Batteries and small decorations should not be put on the floor as there are chances for pets to eat it. Chemicals in decorations and batteries can cause unnecessary reactions or they may choke pets.
- Don’t Put Pets on a Festive Treat: Always follow the same diet for pets. Don’t feed them a high-calorie diet or leftovers from your lavish Christmas meal. It can cause indigestion and stomach pain for your pets.
- Treat Pets with a Walk or Toys: Take your dog or cat for a walk on the eve of Christmas to make them as a part of the celebration. Give them some big play toys instead of Christmas treats.
- Visit a Vet During Emergency: If your pet swallows something or feels uncomfortable after a meal always take them to a vet immediately, Ensure you know the contacts of vets in your locality. Never ignore the suffering of animals.
