Christmas with pets, with our four-legged friends. We want them with us, even if we leave for the holidays, we include them in lunches and dinners, parties and bingo games with relatives. Here are some tips to make our holidays happy and relaxing too furry friends.
Best wishes to our dear four-legged friends
"Christmas decorations, guests, relatives and even trips are a joyful time for families but for pets it can become a really stressful time", specify the Mylav veterinary doctors who draw up recommendations to prevent and reduce anxiety and fatigue to our pets. Experts recommend placing the decorations and Christmas plants in areas inaccessible to animals that could also get injured and hurt themselves. Even home perfumers with Christmas aromas, such as cinnamon, ginger and spice can cause conjunctivitis and allergic rhinitis in our pets, if exposed excessively. Attention to the table: panettone and pandoro are forbidden to dogs and cats. L'raisins are toxic to them, ditto nuts and olive pits, even chocolate and sausages are dangerous. Better to give them balanced and light appetizing snacks.
Beware of the cold and barrels
“In case of ice and snow, the paws, being extremities, are more subject to cooling and possible damage. In the case of a walk in the snow, the use of special protective creams for the foot pads may be sufficient”. These are the recommendations Francesca Del Balbo, veterinary surgeon and expert in internal medicine for Mylav. It's still, to overcome the age-old question of New Year's barrels that scare almost all dogs and cats that tend to shiver and hide away, the veterinary and nutritional consultants for Royal Canin suggest that they are set up in a safe place before midnight.
You have to choose a place familiar to them that conveys tranquility; it is important to give them food and water so they can feel calmer. Finally you can try to distract them during the fireworks, making them play. What if the Christmas present was a dog or a cat? They are not Christmas presents, pets are much more. Welcoming dogs and cats into your home is a great responsibility that must be carefully evaluated, involving all members of the family. A gesture of love to be demonstrated every day as is done with human beings
