Pets and holidays

Pets are curious and can get into everything, especially during the holiday when there is more to see and do.

Store all prescriptions and drugs that can, even in small doses, be lethal to pets.

Pets are attracted to the shiny ornaments. Use large pet-friendly ornaments and keep ornaments and lights out of pet's reach.
