It’s that time of the year when we feel obligated to
do the annual “dangers of the holiday” blog post.
If you have a dog, I hope you
already know not to let the dog imbibe of the chocolate or the eggnog. Yep,
dogs can get drunk too (and it’s not a pretty sight). Please try not to let the
cat eat the ornaments or the string holding the ornaments on the tree or the
package ribbons. I wish I had a miracle
recommendation to help you keep the tree upright if you have a young cat who is
thrilled to have a new jungle gym in the house.
Let’s just
keep it short and simple this year: If your pet eats something and you’re worried, give
us a call. If your friends feed your pet during a holiday meal and the day
after is a puke/vomit fest, call us. We don’t judge (trust me someone has
called to admit their pet ate something or was fed something far more embarrassing).
Our goal is for you to have a happy, safe and totally awesome holiday.
