You know that our pets can be very sensitive to changes in their environment and routine. And . . . . just like what we tell ourselves at the beginning of each holiday . . . . try to keep your pet’s eating and exercise habits as close to their normal routine as possible:
- regular meal schedules
- walks
- exercise or play sessions
- and arrange a place in your home for “quiet time”
The added stress and excitement of holiday festivities can increase your dog’s thirst too, so make sure your dog has plenty of fresh water to drink.
Always ask your veterinarian about their recommendations as well.
With some advanced planning and a little training, you can make things more festive and fun for your pet(s) and less stressful for you!
