November and December is a busy time of year. There are holidays to
prepare for. There are gifts to shop for, guests to invite over,
travel to be done, even one evening of dinner and socializing can be a
lot more activity than a night the during rest of the year. Amid all
the activity, it's im****tant that we consider our pets. The holidays
can be stressful for pets, with all the additional comings and goings
and changes in the daily routine.
If you are having company over, consider designating a "safe spot" for
your pet. A room where he is comfortable that is in the quietest part
of the house. If your dog is truly not comfortable with a lot of
strangers coming into the home, it might be wise to put him in a
boarding kennel for the evening. This will eliminate the chance of him
becoming overwhelmed and possibly deciding that you need to be
protected from your guests. If he is sociable, he can come out and
greet people, but make sure he always has a place to get away from
everything. Even the friendliest of pets can become stressed by a
holiday party....
