5 Tips for a Safe and Happy Pet Friendly Holiday
1. Foods

2. Travel
Plan for your trip in advance, whether you are traveling with your pet or boarding them somewhere. When traveling with your pet, choose a pet friendly hotel. Many hotels offer pet free accommodation.
In the car, make sure your pet is secure in the back seat; securely buckled up with a travel harness or carrier or crate.

3. Decorations
Curious pets can get in more trouble during the holidays when colorful papers, ribbons, and other items that resemble toys are on display. Keep your curious pet in mind when decorating your home for the holidays.
4. Plants
Many holiday plants can be toxic to your pets, making them severely ill or even cause death. 5 Holiday Plants to avoid are Poinsettias, Mistletoe, Holly, Amaryllis, and Pine Needles.
5. Dressing Up
It can be adorable dressing up your pet, but it is essential that their holiday clothing and accessories are safe plus comfortable.
Anything on or near the head should not block their vision.
Select lightweight materials to avoid heat exhaustion. Wearing a stylish dog bowtie is a dapper way to dress-up your dog.
Be a vigilant pet parent! Have a safe and happy pet friendly holiday celebration.
