Holiday Reminders for Pet Owners Pet-proof decorations Fasten the Christmas tree to a wall or secure it another way to prevent your cat or dog from knocking it over. Some chemicals that extend the life of trees are poisonous. Cover the treated area with a section of window screen. Hang breakables, tinsel, and other tempting decorations well out of paw's reach. Tinsel, ribbon, and ornaments are especially dangerous to pets if they chew or swallow them. Place holiday plants out of pet's reach. Many seasonal plants are poisonous, including mistletoe, holly, and poinsettias. Treats to eat Don't share any candy with your pets, especially chocolate. Candy is toxic for animals and can cause vomiting, restlessness, heart disturbances, and even death. Tell your children not to share their candy with the family pet. If you suspect your pet has eaten chocolate or other candy that causes discomfort, consult your veterinarian immediately. Cooked poultry bones splinter and can be dangerous for pets to chew. Don t give your pet turkey skin or other high-fat holiday dishes. Even in small quantities, these may up set your pet's systems. In larger amounts, high fat may be fatal. Instead of people food, give pets a few of their favorite pet treats during special meals or at par ties. Gift and goodies Avoid toys with small parts or those made of soft materials that pets can chew up and swallow, especially aggressive chewers. Avoid hard plastic dog bones as they can they can splinter or shed fragments that dogs swallow. Nylon-type chews don't splinter and last longer. Don't forget the homeless animals. Our shelter animals always need donations of food and toys. It's an excellent way to teach children generosity towards those less fortunate. Reduce the chances of losing your pet Confine your pets in a quiet room away from parties and family gatherings. Pets, especially dogs, may be easily excited or threatened by unfamiliar people. Make sure your pet wears a valid CBJ animal license tag. It's the cheapest form of insurance and the law. When Animal Control rescues a lost pet, they identify the owner using the license tag and then notify the owner. 8
Wags and Brags Poika Petaisto achieved his NATCH title at the NADAC trials in Corvallis Oregon. It was perfect timing because this top title took almost four years and cost as much as a college degree from Inga's alma mater Oregon State University. 9
