RSPCA Shropshire is advising animal owners to be gotten ready for any emergency situations that develop over Christmas and to guarantee that the joyful season is as non-stressful as possible for our furry buddies.
From poisonous foods, the threats of decors and keeping your animal calm amongst the Christmas turmoil, here are a few of the charity’s leading suggestions for a ‘pet-safe’ Christmas:
-
Chocolate is poisonous to cats and dogs so guarantee it is safe and out of your animal’s reach.
-
Make sure your animals don’t consume tinsel or covering paper – although cardboard boxes make fantastic toys!
-
Raisins, currants and sultanas (active ingredients in Christmas pudding and cake) are exceptionally harmful to animals.
-
Nuts are a choking threat and macadamia nuts are poisonous to dogs.
-
Holly, ivy and mistletoe can be poisonous to animals; lilies can be extremely harmful for cats.
-
Leftover prepared turkey and carrots (dogs) are great, however never ever feed prepared bones, onions, leeks, garlic and alcohol. Pigs in blankets, gravy and stuffing shouldn’t be fed to animals due to their high salt material.
-
Never leave your animals ignored with food. If you believe your animal has actually consumed anything they shouldn’t have, speak with your veterinarian right away.
-
You can help your animal handle the turmoil of Christmas by supplying them with someplace cosy and peaceful where they can pull away if the enjoyment gets excessive.
