The hustle and bustle of the holiday season can be stressful on our pets. The following suggestions might help you and your pets enjoy the holiday season.
- Loud noises or unfamiliar faces may spook your pet. Designate a quiet and secure room away from the crowd.
- Crating or confining your pet when you are unable to be with him will eliminate behavior problems when you are not there.
- Some pets get upset by major schedule changes. Trying to maintain normal feeding, exercise, and sleeping patterns may help reduce stress for all.
- More pets are lost during winter than any other season. Doors will be opened more often during the holidays so make sure your pet is microchipped and/or has a current tag on his collar.
- Consider adding some new or extra enrichment toys to redirect your pet’s attention away from Christmas trees or decorations.
