Holiday Season Tips<br />

for your Pet<br />

Thanksgiving has come to a close, and the season of the holidays is in full<br />

swing! Our households are starting to hum with the busy-ness of preparing<br />

for travel, holiday dinners and gift wrapping; and likely our pets will not<br />

quite be the centers of attention as much as they would like. We’d like to<br />

give you some helpful tips to make sure that your holiday season is full of fun<br />

for both you and your furry family members!<br />

If you’re looking to travel out of town, whether by car or plane, hopefully you<br />

have already made arrangements to have your pet updated on vaccines, flight<br />

acclimation certificate, and health certificates necessary for your arrangements<br />

and destination. Keep in mind the climate that you are traveling to and the<br />

location of your destination and proximity to vet clinics/pharmacies in case of<br />

emergencies or should you need immediate prescription refills. Be sure to pack<br />

plenty of your pet’s own food (or ship it ahead), so that the stress of traveling and a<br />

HO<br />

change in diet does not cause gastrointestinal upset. Contact your veterinarian to<br />

get any medications refilled before you leave, and a quick exam and conversation<br />

with your vet about any anxiety medications your pet may need before you leave.<br />
