Hungry Bowl™ Pet Food Drive to benefit the Los Angeles County Shelter in Carson, CA

As a member of Pet Sitters International (PSI), the world’s largest association for professional pet sitters, we will be participating in PSI’s Hungry Bowl™ Pet Food Drive. This drive is an international effort to collect pet food for shelters everywhere. The drive takes place December 1-12 and we are asking all of our friends to help us with this effort. We plan to collect and ask that if you leave any items, you put them in plain view for us to see and pick up. We are also asking any of our friends, that have offices or store fronts, that would like to participate to let us know and we will provide a collection bin and signage for the drive.

Seven Tips To Help You and Your Pets Safely Enjoy the Holidays

Holidays can be extremely fun for humans, but may pose hidden risks for pets. These seven tips will help keep your pets safe this holiday season.

O (No) Christmas Tree! Below it. In it. On top of it. Around it. You name it and the Christmas tree poses the possibility of harm to your pets. Pine tree water can be poisonous, so it’s best to use an enclosed tree stand. If that’s not possible, be sure to cover open tree stand bases. The tree should be secured to a wall with strong wire or twine because a toppling tree can cause serious injuries to dogs and cats.

Decorations can be dangerous as well. Tinsel entices canines and felines alike. Glass ornaments look like shiny fetch balls. Ornaments, hooks, twinkling lights and electrical wiring all pose significant danger to pets. When no one’s around to supervise, unplug lights and any electrical decorations a pet has access to. Be sure to cover or tack down electrical cords.

Remember, common holiday pet poisons also include plants. Holiday plants that are poisonous to pets include mistletoe berries, holly, hibiscus, Christmas roses and the poinsettia. Keep these out of your pet’s reach.

Sugar free doesn’t guarantee a happy ending. Xylitol, a sugar substitute, causes a dog’s blood sugar to drop quickly. This poisoning can be treated, but causes liver failure if not treated properly.

Macadamia nuts aren’t all they’re cracked up to be. Dogs experience severe weakness in their back legs, appearing paralyzed, after ingesting macadamia nuts. Dogs usually recover from this condition within three days.

Pets and bread dough don’t mix well. When bread dough is ingested it continues to rise and may cause an intestinal blockage.

Consider your pet’s long-term health when treating and feeding during the holidays. While the tendency is to spoil with a lot of food and edible treats, this can sometimes lead to unnecessary weight again. Give your pet a special toy or spend some extra time playing and petting instead. Following these valuable tips will help keep pets out of danger, while still enjoying the festivities that accompany the most wonderful time of the year!
