HOLIDAYS AND YOUR PETS

Holidays are a great time for family; parties, dinners and great gatherings. This can also be a great time for pets as well, if they aren't forgotten.

Every pet has different needs, sometimes they love the company and will hang right in the middle of the festivities, participating in the interaction with all their humans or sitting and watching all the activities from a safe corner. Other pets, just like humans, can't handle all the activity and may need a quiet room to be in while the biggest crowds are in the house. Other times, when their humans are shopping or visiting other friends, they may be left too long by themselves.

It's important to remember the pets are very much like small children; they rely on their humans completely and really don't understand when they are left alone, or made to do things they don't like.

Compassion, love and understanding is needed for our loving companions, especially during these extremely busy times of the year.
