Protecting Your Pets Through The Holidays

As families get together to enjoy a meal, it's important to keep an eye on those furry family members.

Veterinarians said emergency hospitals tend to get busy during the holiday season when pets get their paws on holiday food.

Experts said fatty foods can upset an animal's stomach, so it's best to give them pet-safe treats instead of things like turkey and table scraps.

It's good to make sure that animals can't get into turkey bones and that any trash or carcass is put away properly, because that can cause a lot of damage.

Experts also said if you're hosting a holiday party, it's important to make sure your pet is comfortable with large crowds.

They said with doors opening and closing all the time, pets can get out. So it's a good idea to have your pet microchipped as well.
