The end-of-the-year holidays can be joyous for us and hazardous for our dogs.
Beware.
Our homes are normally filled with hazards for a dog’s wellbeing, and during this time of year the number of hazards seems to explode. Much of the holiday food, and many of the decorations and the gifts can all be dangerous or poisonous for a dog. Couple that with our own inattention caused by the change in our own schedules and you have a receipt for danger.
Check these lists for things to attend. The first is from the College of Vet Medicine at Washington State University. The second is from the Pet Poison Helpline. The third from the American Kennel Club some advice on general care for the dog during the holidays.
