If you’re hosting family or friends, prepare your pet for the extra activity:
- Acclimate to New People
Some pets may feel anxious around new faces. Allow your pet to greet visitors at their own pace, and keep an eye on their behavior to ensure they remain comfortable. - Set Ground Rules with Guests
Remind guests not to feed your pet table scraps, and educate them on any areas of the house where your pet is not allowed. This helps prevent unintentional rule-breaking that could lead to accidents or stress for your pet. - Keep Routines Consistent
With the holiday hustle and bustle, it’s easy to overlook regular routines. Stick to your pet’s feeding and walking schedule as closely as possible, as a predictable routine helps them feel secure.
