Keep Your Best Friend Safe This Holiday Season

PR Log (Press Release) – Nov 07, 2009 – The holidays are right around the corner.  Here are some tips for keeping your best furry friend safe this holiday season compliments of www.tailwaggertreats.com.

Keep candy, especially chocolate, out of your dog’s reach.  Chocolate contains theobromine, which could affect your dog’s central nervous systems as well as the hear muscle.  While amounts vary by type of chocolate, it’s the theobromine that is poisonous to dogs.  If you believe your dog has ingested chocolate, seek the advice of your veterinarian.  Also, watch out for those foil wrappers.

If you decorate with real candles, keep them high so that wagging tails won’t knock them over.

Keep ALL decorations out of your dog’s reach.  Ornaments and the like may be just too tempting even for the most well-behaved pooch.

Dressing your dog in season costumes can be fun.  Just be sure it doesn’t cause your dog undue stress.  Neckties can restrict breathing.  Dragging sweaters can cause falls.
Although your dog may be the officer greeter at the door, but he’s a little rambunctious, you may want to keep them in a quiet room and introduce them to guests when the excitement abates.
