Save Money -- Protect Your Pet

How to protect your pets from Holiday Hazards and save money on vet bills. Doctor Karen Halligan give us some good ideas on how to keep our pets safe and happy during the Holidays.
Pretty decoration and lavish meals play an important part in most holiday celebrations, but what seems harmless and fun for you and your guests may be harmful to your pets. So, before you start celebrating, spend some time planning and preparing for the well-being of your cats and dogs to keep them safe during the holiday dangers. These easy steps will help:
Good Rules--Any Time

• Be absolutely certain that pets are wearing-- at all times--current ID tags.
  
• Try to keep them on their regular schedules for feeding and exercise.
  
• Provide plenty of love and attention, so they don't feel left out.
  
• When there's a party, put your pets in a separate room with some toys and a comfortable place to lie. Playing soft music, especially classical, also helps them to relax. They'll feel safer and less stressed.
  
• Advise overnight guests to keep all medications secure.
  

Holiday Trappings

• Keep your pets from pawing through the trash. Plastic or foil wrappings and six-pack beverage holders are especially attractive to curious animals.
  
• Watch where you place candles. Pets can tip them over or get burned.
  
• Never put ribbon or yarn around your pet's neck. If ingested, it can damage an animal's intestines.
  

Hope these ideas help you keep your pet safe and save money on a costly vet bill this Holiday season. Be back with more on this subject tomorrow . Until then..Happy Savings!!!
