TIS THE SEASON!

With the holiday season approaching and many of us having deadlines for shopping, decorating and visiting friends, please keep in mind that the Holiday’s can be stressful for our pet’s as well. New faces and guests can add to that stress.

Each time a guest enters your home, pets can be exposed to a new level of stress.




Some positive, some negative. Some pets are locked away while guests are in their home while others are allowed to roam free.


Doors, gates and garages are opened and closed frequently.

The opportunity for escape is incredible! Winter holidays are one of the top seasons of the year that pets are lost. Microchipping your pet can aid in recovery if your pet should escape by accident. Call your Veterinarian today if your pet is not already chipped!
 Please inform your guests not to feed your pet scraps.

 Please do not allow children to harass your pet

 Please keep a routine for your pet

Never give your pet chocolate! It can be highly toxic to animals! Chocolate can cause stomach cramps, constipation and diarrhea. It is all too common to see pets with vomiting and diarrhea after a holiday. Some can become seriously ill.

Dangerous Holiday Paraphernalia:

 Plastic six pack beverage holders

 Electric cords

 Glass ornaments

 Ribbons and tinsel.

 Foil

 Rubber bands

 Pine needles. If your pet ingests a pine needle, there is a danger of internal organs being pierced by the needles

Wishing you all a happy and safe Holiday Season!
