Fireworks bring cheer, but some pets live in fear!💛🐾 If you know your pet is scared of fireworks, make sure you take all the necessary steps for them to have a lovely and cheerful Christmas and New Year! Tip1: Walk your dog slightly earlier 🐕🦺🚶Try to take your dog outside while it’s still light, before any fireworks start. Feed your pet earlier too so the noise won’t distract it from its food. 😺If your cat is a wanderer and you are worried about them being outside when any fireworks start, encourage them indoors as early as you can. 🚰Anxious animals also tend to drink more, so make sure water bowls are kept topped up. Please help us share good tips with your friends💛🐾 #PetsAsTherapy #ChristmasFireworks #fireworks #fireworksseason #ChristmasCheer

It can be tempting to give your dog or cat some extra treats at Christmas time, but some festive food should be strictly off the menu. 🍰Mince pies and Christmas cake Raisins, currants, sultanas and grapes – traditional festive baking ingredients – are toxic to some dogs and cats and will make them very sick. 🍫Chocolate Chocolate contains theobromine, a poisonous substance that we can safely digest but even a small amount can be fatal for a pet. 🥜Nuts Bowls of nuts, especially macadamia nuts and walnuts, are also a danger to dogs and cats. Within 12 hours of eating macadamia nuts, your pet could start trembling and vomiting. 🧀Cheese It’s okay to use in moderation as a titbit, but don’t share the blue variety on your festive cheeseboard. Stilton and Roquefort contain a fungus substance that pets can be sensitive to. As well as causing an upset tummy, pets may develop muscle tremors and seizures. 🍷Alcohol There’ll be little festive cheer if your pet swallows alcohol, either in boozy puddings or from a glass on the floor. Alcohol can intoxicate and poison a dog or cat, making it drowsy and wobbly on its feet. In more severe cases, pets can suffer potential comas, kidney failure and even heart failure. #PetsAsTherapy #Christmas #FestiveFood #SafePets #ChristmasMeal #Dogs #Cats

Our Read2Dogs scheme can help young people to improve their literacy skills and encourage confidence and concentration in the classroom. Reading a story aloud to a PAT Dog, a great non-judgemental listener, helps young people to enjoy the reading experience. They look forward to spending time with their four-legged friend, which in turn creates a bond of trust, empathy and understanding of the needs of the pet. Pets As Therapy brings dogs in hundreds of schools every year. If you think there is a school near you that would benefit from having our PAT Dogs visit the pupils please send us a message or visit https://lnkd.in/ejjrxiUq #schools #edu #education #childrenmentalhealth #childrensliteracy
