Bark! The Herald Angels Sing!
Christmas - is the most wonderful time of the year! Fun and laughter, treats and presents, family and friends - what's not to love?
This is not always the case for our furry friends. Here are some tips we recommend following to help your loved ones enjoy this time of year.
Watch your pet diet. Chocolate, salt, alcohol, coffee, and turkey/chicken bones should all be kept out of your pet's diet.
Leftovers should also be avoided - they may make your pets drool, but they can have some costly side effects including vomiting and diarrhea - which can end up with a trip to the vet.
Create a 'safe space' for your pet.
Christmas means lots of visitors and generally a busy, noisy environment; which can upset your pet.
Allowing your dog access to a quiet room or kennel means they can escape the mayhem.
