Safe Tips at New Year Eve

As far as the less exotic pets go that is cats and dogs, how about putting some kitty baubles or doggie toys on the lower branches of the tree in lieu of your fragile & valuable decorations. That way, if those pets are drawn to the tree they will find something appropriate for them. Or, here is another suggestion that has proved successful for defending both pets & small ones. Put the Christmas tree & gifts in to a playpen. That may not cease kitty, but at least the tree cannot fall down as basically when they decides to climb it. Granted, it might be a small unusual to see the holiday tree & gifts in a playpen, but it might be the ticket for your situation.

Since they are on the subject of the Christmas tree, here is another safety hint. In the event you have a live tree placed in water wrap the base so your pets cannot drink the water. Plenty of modern live trees have been sprayed with chemicals that may be poisonous to your small friends.

Be , cautious with candles. Your bird or cat may be enticed by the flicker of the flame. Singed whiskers or feathers would definitely put a damper on holiday cheer, not to mention the horror your pet would suffer from a serious burn. Place glass "hurricane lanterns" or other stunning covers over candles to protect your home & your pets.

Give some thought to New Years Eve. Pets are usually frightened by the traditional firecrackers & other noisy merriment & it is best to have a plan to keep them from becoming frightened by the noise. Some canines may be severely traumatized by fireworks so be sure to leave them inside in the event you go out to celebrate.

Pets, birds & felines, may be stressed by the changes in household process in the work of the holidays, in the event you are stressed yourself. Some felines & canines reply to stress by becoming hyper or hysterical, & some basically retreat. Plan to spend some special time together with your pets to calm yourself & reassure them in the work of this period. If your pet is upset with strangers visiting, prepare a refuge where they can go to escape the "maddening crowd."
