- Whether you are hosting or traveling, check that your pet is wearing a collar and tag with your current contact information.
- Update your pet’s microchip. If your pet isn’t microchipped, call us to make an appointment today!
- If you are leaving town without your pet, use a good pet sitter or board your pets with us. Don’t leave your pets alone for days – water bowls can spill and accidents can happen.
- Explain to guests to be careful at doors. If your pet is a door dasher, keep him in another room while guests are coming in and out.
- Make sure your pet gets his regular exercise and playtime whether with you or a pet sitter.
- Keep toys and treats at hand when hosting guests to distract pets and reward good behavior.
- Supervise all interactions between pets and kids for everyone’s safety.
- If you are hosting Thanksgiving guests, remind them not to feed your pet table scraps.
- Have a counter-surfing pet? Ask a reliable guest to keep your pet occupied in another room during the cooking.
- After the meal, remove all trash and bones immediately. Curious pets can cause themselves serious harm chewing on sharp bones!
