Points to Remember for Your Pet’s Safety
Since you want no harm of any kind to befall your dear pet on a holiday, remembering the following points will secure your home animals an appreciable degree of safety.
Noise
It is not uncommon for pets, especially younger dogs and cats, to take fright from excessive noise that keeps resounding so often in a holiday party. Very often, pets rush out or leap down heights in search of safety from frightening noise, thus the result for the animal can be death or disability. Always take care to keep your pet confined in a noiseless and safe place on such occasions.
Harmful Substances
What adds color and style to your holiday party can run your pet in serious trouble. Confetti and dress items like rubber bands, if swallowed, can cause choking and intestinal injury in your pet dog or cat. Eatables like chocolate are also harmful particularly to cats. Plastic items are another hazard, so don’t leave them out in the animals’ reach.
Plants
Flowers and fresh plants add color to a holiday celebration at home. They can also add poison to your pet’s stomach. Even some very common plants, or their certain parts, can be harmful to your dog and (more particularly) cat. As a safe measure, get a list of toxic plants, especially those that are more common in homes, so as not to poison your pet with them. Also, get first aid brochures for instant help in case of poisoning.
Fireworks
Independence Day is one big alarm for pet owners, owing to the joy of fireworks. The colorful flashes and explosive noise frequently cause panic among pets and they meet with accidents from rushing about for safety. The possibility of hitting an animal with a carelessly handled firecracker is always there. Keep your animals safe in a room away from noise on Independence Day.
Candles
What happens often in Halloween is the burning of many a pet animal by coming in contact with candles that are in their reach. They might also paw candles down and cause fires, turning the holiday into a real nightmare. To prevent fires, keep your Halloween candles well out of the animals’ access.
