Holiday and ColdWeather Tips for PetsThe Winter Season often brings lotsof activity and excitement, and thereare some things to remember to helpkeep your pets safe this season.It’s best to keep your pet’s diet assimilar as possible throughout theholidays. It can be tempting to give yourpets a holiday feast like your own, butdisrupting their diet can cause stomachupset or even injury. For example,turkey bones are brittle and sharp andshouldn’t be given to dogs to chew on.Desserts like chocolate can be especiallydangerous for dogs.Dogs and cats aren’t always as socialas we think. Sometimes a lot ofnew faces, like those at a party, can bestressful to pets. Consider giving petstheir own, quiet room during get-togethers.This will also keep them safe fromguests feeding them table scraps andfrom escaping through the front door aspeople come and go.Many holiday decorations look likegreat toys, especially to cats. Tinsel,if eaten, can wreck havoc on a cat’sinsides, sometimes requiring surgeryto remove. Christmas trees can fall andinjure curious cats and dogs. Flickeringcandles look like fun toys to some cats.Remember that just because your pethas a fur coat, they are not immuneto the cold weather. The best place forpets is indoors with their owners. If theymust stay outside, ensure they haveadequate shelter from the weather andplenty of food and fresh water.In the News ...Rabies is still hereThe threat of rabies still existsin Laramie County.
