"The holiday season can be a busy time at veterinary clinics," says Dr. Ian Sandler, a veterinary member of the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association. "Pets aren't aware of the consequences of their actions as their home is decorated for the holiday season, and malfunctioning lights, plants and candles are just a few of the items that can wreak havoc. Family pets rely on their owners to look out for their welfare by ensuring their home is pet-proof, safe and secure."
"Staying safe and sound during this busy and festiveseason should be top of mind for peoplewhile they enjoy their time with family, friends and pets," says Anthony Toderian, safetyspokesperson for CSA. "Taking amoment or two to practice safety around the home can be as simple as following a few basic steps to help ensurethe well-being of our pets andfamily."
