Of all the things we are all truly grateful for, the health, safety, and general well being of our four-legged best friends surely top the list. It may seem like an easy feat, but keeping our pets far from danger is anything but. 

During this time of year, it remains essential to have a firm grip on what Thanksgiving pet safety entails. With all measures in place, you can sit back, relax, and have a slice of pie.

Staying Close

Pets are at risk of accidental separation throughout the year, but it’s keenly felt around the holidays. Starting with Thanksgiving, we encourage all owners to check (and re-check) their pet’s collars and tags. If they don’t have a microchip yet, or you’ve changed your contact information since original registration, please let us know. 

Pet owners like to share all aspects of life with their best friends, but unless skydiving or spelunking becomes safe for pets, we can’t do everything together. Similarly, while it may seem like offering them little bits of our food (or inadvertently making it available) is harmless, this can lead to some pretty big problems.

Fortunately, there’s much we can do to prevent a pet poisoning by knowing which human foods are safe and which are toxic.
