Below is a useful list of twelve doggy reminders on how to protect your four-legged friends from the perils of the festive season.
- Inappropriate food – beware! Make yourself dog-food savvy.
- Visiting family members may leave doors open that should be shut.
- Christmas cracker items are small and easy to swallow. It could be fatal for your dog to eat them.
- Visiting family members may not listen to warning growls and barking.
- Visiting family members may, if unchecked, throw all your training out of the window!
- Don’t walk your dog while drunk!
- Put dogs away if having a family gathering as they are unused to this and could be scared easily.
- Take the pressure off your dog and don’t leave them alone with children.
- Don’t dress up your dog if it is likely to make them distressed.
- Rawhide chews – don’t feed them to your dogs!
- Medication for elderly or sick family members – keep an eye on handbags and ensure they are out of reach. Dogs love to snoop!
- Children’s toys – get them out of the way!
