The holidays are stressful enough without a trip to the emergency vet! 🚨😬
Luckily, we’ve got tips to keep your furry friend safe in West Covina this season. Here are a couple of our favorites...
TIP #1: Keep pets away from the kitchen
During Thanksgiving, the kitchen can be a high traffic zone. From getting under your feet to counter surfing, four legged friends should stay far out of the way. Avoid burns, spills, and other contact injuries for your pets (and you) by keeping them out of the cooking area.
TIP #2: Set your pet up for success
Before the festivities get underway, take care of your pet first. Make sure your dog or cat is well exercised. By burning off energy, they’re more likely to behave better and be less anxious. Pets with pent up energy can get into more mischief, which could lead to a trip to the emergency vet. Even though the holiday might throw off their routine, a little extra exercise and playtime can help the day feel special for them too.
