There's always lots to remember when discussing holidays with pets. Sometimes pets and decorations don't go well as I am always reminded when visiting my parents and their very playful cat. The christmas tree ends up being a bald tree surrounded by a sea of ornaments. It's always important to be careful of loose hooks or any ornament or decoration that could cause a choking hazard for your pet.
If you are traveling for the holidays it is important that you have a safe place for your pet. When we can't bring Teddybux along, we are fortunate enough to have family that loves his visits. So we pack up his crate and all the essentials and send him on vacation knowing that he will have as good a time as we will. When family is not an option be sure to plan ahead when planning for your pet. Pet sitters may book up fast or be planning a vacation for themselves and when boarding your pet it's important to be sure your favorite spot has the room and that your pet is up to date on all his shots. It is much easier to enjoy the holidays when you know your pet is happy and safe.
With Teddybux we have some additional concerns and limitations when worrying about the holidays. When we bring Teddybux up to spend time with the family he is surrounded by other dogs with fewer limitations on their diets. In order to help alleviate the allergic reactions, I like to bring homemade dog treats that are Teddybux safe as gifts for all the dogs. This way all the dogs have delicious treats that they can share without worry. It may take a little bit of extra time to prepare but everyone in the family deserves something a little extra special for the holidays!
I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season!
