Holiday Pet Safety: Simple Steps to Keep Furry Friends Happy

The holiday season is a time for joy and gatherings, but it's also a time when pets can feel overwhelmed. With more people around, pets might feel stressed or anxious. It's important to think about how the holidays affect our furry friends.

Food Concerns

One big issue is food. During holidays, people eat different foods. Some of these foods can be dangerous for pets. It's easy for bits of food to fall on the floor where pets can reach them. So, it's a good idea to keep human food away from pets.

Space and Comfort

Another thing to consider is space. Holidays often mean more people in the home. Pets might not be used to so many visitors. This can make them feel crowded and stressed. Creating a safe space for pets can help them feel more comfortable.

Signs of Stress

It's also important to watch for signs of stress in pets. These signs can include:

• Stiffening
• Lip licking
• Hiding
• Panting
• Shaking

If you notice these signs, it might be a good idea to give your pet some space and quiet time.

A Special Adoption Story

During a recent show, a 2-year-old pup named Beefus was featured. Beefus was up for adoption, and the Mike Morse Law Firm offered to pay the standard adoption fees for anyone who adopted Beefus that day.
