Holiday Tips for Pets

The holidays will soon be here. With your pets best interest at heart, now is a good time to plan for the busy holiday season.

1. Don’t change your pet’s diet around the holidays. Gravy and stuffing and sweets are not good food items for your dog. Onions, cooked bones, rich foods and chocolate are very dangerous.
2. With all the extra folks around make a safe quiet place for your dogs to hang out.
3. Even the sweetest dog can get cranky when the routine changes and there are new people around the house. Ask all of your guest…especially the small ones to give your dog some space and not be in their face.
4. If you want to give your dog something special, consider a good quality human grade treat or some pumpkin (not pie filling) with their food. They love it and it is good for them.
5. As you are decorating think about things that can be reached by your dog that could be harmful. Lights, garland, ornaments and plastic should not be where your dog can get to them. These items and more can cause intestinal problems or blockages. Lights can short out if chewed and shock or burn your pet.
6. Try to keep their schedule as normal as you can to reduce stress. You are the ‘leader’ of the pack and they will look to you for comfort and normality.
7. Some house plants used at the holidays are very toxic. Poinsettia, holly and mistletoe are very toxic.
8. With people coming and going in and out of the house make sure your pets are safely away from doors. With all the extra activity they might bolt out a door.
9. Giving your dog a toy like a Canine Genius or a Kong filled with good quality treats can keep them happy and busy for a long while.

Wishing you all a wonderful and blessed holiday season




If you are looking for dog treats to help you with dog training, to improve a finicky eater’s eating habits, or to simply reward your dog, consider liver dog treats as a healthy option for your pet. Not only are liver dog treats healthy and natural; your dog will love them! Liver dog treats are typically made using chicken or beef livers combined with other ingredients such as egg and flour. The treats can be cut in to shapes appropriate for various sized dogs. The most popular shape is a cookie shape. Liver dog treats can be added to dog food to improve eating habits, used as a bait or reward when training, or as an alternative to unhealthy processed dog treats.

Treats containing liver can be made using human-grade ingredients making them an excellent natural and healthy choice for your dog. Dog treats made with liver have the flavor of real meat due to liver being the primary ingredient so dogs love the taste. The nutrients in the liver provide your dog with more energy, a healthier coat, and healthier teeth.
