Make the holidays special for your pet: Provide your pet some extra love and attention to let them know they’re not forgotten during busy holiday times.- Take your dog for an extra walk -- it’ll help both you and your pet relieve some of that holiday stress.
- Keep a supply of pet treats handy and reach for one before you’re tempted to toss your pet that little bite of “people” food.
- Let your pet get into the gift-giving spirit by making a donation (e.g., food, litter, toys) to your local shelter in his name.
- Perhaps your dog would like a new bed, or your cat a new scratching post. Birds love mirrors or other fun items for the cage. Get creative!
- Enjoy some extra snuggle time.
- Whichever treat or special activity you choose, you’ll be enhancing the bond you share -- and your pet will love it!
