Don't forget hydration in winter! 💧

Indoor heating dehydrates pets just like summer heat. Ensure fresh water is always available. Check outdoor bowls for ice.

Signs of dehydration: dry gums, sunken eyes, lethargy, poor skin elasticity.

Try room-temperature water or a fountain to encourage drinking.

Holiday parties can be overwhelming for pets! 🏠

Some pets love the excitement; others need quiet space.

Help anxious pets by creating a calm retreat with their bed, toys, and water. Maintain routines. Consider calming supplements or pheromone diffusers.

Watch for signs of stress: hiding, panting, appetite loss, aggression.

If your pet struggles with severe anxiety, we can discuss medication options.

Holiday feasts smell amazing — but they can be dangerous for pets! 🍽️

Dangerous foods include chocolate, xylitol, grapes, raisins, onions, garlic, cooked bones, alcohol, and unbaked yeast dough.

Even small amounts can be life-threatening. Keep human food out of reach and remind guests not to share.
