Holiday Tips From Dallas Pet Sitter
Everyone is home for the holidays, the pets are barking and meowing; kids are crying, aunts are pinching your cheek; but, the food is good and the company is fresh.
As much as you may or may not enjoy Thanksgiving with your family, understand your pet is seeing this in a different way - FREE FOOD. Designate someone to keep an eye on the food and away from the family pets.
Many foods are toxic to animals. Cats have a problem with onion and garlic which can make them anemic. Also green tomatoes and raw green potatoes can cause explosive diarrehea. Milk can also cause stomach problems and gas while turkey bones can splinter.
However, cooked turkey meat, uncanned pumpkins, squash, cats can eat.
Dogs keep away from onions, chocolate, and bones. Onions can give gas, chocolate is toxic, and bones - well, you didn't want to head to the vets on a holiday!
If you do need a vet, check the emergency clinic or your vet's hotline to see who is minding the house while they enjoy holidays.
Prepare and watch out and all should be good for your dogs and cats. If you need to travel, find a reliable pet sitter, dog walker, and bird feeder to watch after your loved ones. It is worth it for your piece of mind.
