Tips for safe entertaining in pet-friendly houses The holidays are a time to spend with friends and family. Celebrating and entertaining are large components of what makes Thanksgiving, Christ- mas, Chanukah, and New Years festivities so enjoyable. Holiday hosts with pets must consider companion animals when planning the festivities. The holiday season brings added dangers for pets. The American Veterinary Associ- ation notes that, by keeping hazards in mind, pet owners can ensure their four-legged friends enjoy the season as much as everyone else. • Secure the tree. Secure- ly anchor the Christmas tree so that it won't tip over on any- one, including rambunctious pets. Also, stagnant tree stand water can grow bacteria. If a pet should drink the water, it may end up with nausea or di- arrhea. Replenish the tree ba- sin with fresh water daily. • Skip the candles. When creating mood lighting, opt for electronic or battery-powered lights instead of open flames. Pets may knock over candles, and that can be an instant fire hazard. • Keep food out of reach. Situate food buffets beyond the reach of hungry and cu- rious animals. Warn guests to promptly throw out their leftovers so that dogs and cats do not sneak away with scraps that may cause stom- ach upset or worse. Real Sim- ple magazine warns that fatty foods can promote pancreati- tis — a potentially dangerous inflammation of the pancreas that produces toxic enzymes and causes illness and dehy- dration. Small bones can get lodged in a pet's throat or in- testines as well. • Avoid artificial sweeten- ers. Exercise caution when baking sugar-free desserts. The artificial sweetener xyli- tol can cause dogs' blood pres- sure to drop to dangerously low levels. Xylitol is found in some toothpastes and gum, so tell overnight guests to keep their toiletries secure to avoid accidental exposure. • Be cautious with cock- tails. If the celebration will in- clude alcoholic beverages, the ASPCA says to place unattend- ed adult beverages where pets cannot reach them. Ingest- ed alcohol can make pets ill, weak and even induce comas. • Be picky about plants. Mistletoe, holly and poin- settias can be dangerous in pet-friendly households. These plants can cause gastro- intestinal upset and may lead to other problems if ingest- ed. Opt for artificial replicas instead. If guests bring flow- ers, confirm they are nontox- ic to pets before putting them on display. • Watch the door. Guests going in and out may inad- vertently leave doors open. In such instances, pets who get scared or are door dash- ers may be able to escape the house. Put a note by the door to watch for escaping pets. • Designate a safe space for pets. If the holiday hus- tle proves too much for cats, dogs, birds, and more, give the pet a safe, quiet spot away from the crowds. Holiday hosts should factor in pet safety when they open their homes to guests.
