Sometimes pets can “act out” at the worst possible times. It can be so frustrating when you are having company, only to find out that Fido had an accident on the carpet or got into the trash and made a big mess. Pets feel the stress of the holidays just like we do. They are creatures of habit and like their regular routine to feel balanced. New people in the house, being left alone, different sounds and movements can give them anxiety! Whatever way possible, do all you can to keep your pet’s feeding schedule and exercise routine as close to normal as you can. A routine helps pets feel safe and reduces the likelihood of destructive behavior during this busy time.
