Now it's time to think about the next set of Holidays. Whether you celebrate Hanukkah, Christmas or Kwanzaa, it is great to include your pets in the celebrations.
Taking a photo to send to friends and family? Don't forget to get the family cat or dog involved. We carry Antlers, Santa or Elf Hats and holiday outfits for the pets. It definitely bringa a smile to everyone (well maybe not the cat or dog- but what a photo opp!)
If you don't have a pet, doing something for a friends cat or dog is often greatly appreciated as well. Going to a cookie swap with friends who have pets, bring along some bakery treats for the dog - everyone will comment on how thoughtful you are.
Gift Baskets filled with treats and toys for a business associate is one option if you don't know what to get them (of course this only works if they have a pet) - there are just so many bottles of wine or cheese baskets one can receive! At Cause to Paws we can put something together for you - or you can pick out items yourself and package them up. Either way people will really appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Other things to keep in mind.
Be careful at Holiday Dinners - this is a great opportunity for dogs to seize half-carved turkeys, half-cut hams and semi-sliced roasts from the kitchen counter top - or eat things they shouldn't - like chocolate or candy. Even too many dog treats can be harmful, keep an eye out.
Which brings up another concern - Call your vet and check his or her schedule for the Holidays. Ask if there will be emergency care available. Your vet's office might be closed, so be sure to get the phone number and address of the nearest emergency veterinary clinic. It's good to have this type of information on hand just incase. If you are going away this is information you need to give to whomever may be taking care of your pets. If you are in need of a pet sitter or walker- you better arrange this ASAP because often they book up early.
Hope everyone has a safe and happy Holiday Season.
