Tips for keeping your pet safe this Christmas

Christmas is a time of cheer for humans. But for pets, it can mean a time of change. There will be more noises and visitors, as well as new objects and smells. Here are some tips from the @rspcansw for spoiling your pet in a healthy, safe way:

• Create a treasure hunt through the house or garden of your pet’s regular dry food.
• Mix your pet’s regular food with a treat.
• Use a recipe that is specifically designed to be a safe treat for your pet.
• Spend extra quality time with your pet by playing games or going for extra walks.
• Purchase pet-friendly Christmas food and treats.

There’s no doubt that Christmas is a popular time for introducing a new pet to the family, but it’s important to make sure that the decision isn’t taken lightly. Puppies and dogs can be a wonderful addition to your life, but they do require a lot of consistent attention and care, and it’s very important that you choose the right individual animal to suit your family and lifestyle.
