...did someone say turkey?!

1. Take Out The Trash: 

Some pets are known to be mischievous and cannot resist the delicious smells of leftover food from Thanksgiving. Be sure to remove your trash to avoid any choking hazards, such as small bones from turkey.

2. Proper Identification: 

When guests are visiting for the holidays, pets can escape through doors that frequently open and close. Be sure to review your pet's microchip information and identification tags in the event of an emergency.  

3. Will you be boarding your pet?:

Many families are busy visiting loved ones during the holiday season and many pets require boarding arrangements. Be sure to call your veterinarian and ensure your pet has had all the recommended vaccinations and care before departing for vacation. If your pet requires medication, be sure to ask for refills before their boarding arrangement.
