The Christmas season is upon us and it’s a time of sharing with our families, including our furry companions! Whilst Christmas is an exciting time, you might not realise that it can be stressful for pets - a sensory overload with festive treats, laughter and loud music with daily routines often disrupted. There are lots of ways to keep your pet relaxed and resident Bob Martin vet Zoe has some festive top tips.
- Toys - Pets can get bored if they are not getting as much attention from you as they are used to. Why not buy seasonal rawhide chews for dogs, or a fun multi-textured tug toy? These will keep them busy and are much better for them than Christmas leftovers.
- Exercise - The best present you can give your pets is your time and affection. Why not take dogs on a nice long walk in the fresh air with a new reflective collar or coat to keep them safer in the dark?
- Keeping warm - It’s going to be a particularly cold winter this year so it is important to look after your pet’s paws. For dogs that need a little pampering you could opt for a nourishing paw wax.
- Christmas food - It’s very important that cats and dogs are not just given our leftovers as a lot of seasonal ingredients can be toxic to cats and dogs. Warning - DON’T feed your pet chocolate, Christmas cake, mince pies or sage and onion stuffing as these can be toxic to your pets.
It can be tempting to want to spoil your pets at this time of year and the choice of seasonal stocking fillers is enormous, but beware of giving too many Christmas dog and cat treats. Just like us, over indulging can make pets ill!
