Animals are wonderful creatures. Dogs, cats, gerbils, hamsters, and even a few reptiles, they bring joy and wonder into many homes around the world. Their energy sparks up any room.

The holiday season is a time of joy and celebration but can also bring unexpected stress for our beloved pets. As a pet owner, it's essential to recognize and mitigate the anxiety that cats and dogs may experience during this bustling time. Here are some practical tips to ensure your pets stay calm and happy, ensuring a peaceful holiday for everyone.

Overheating
Never leave your pet unattended in a car, even with the windows down. Temperatures can rise over 140 degrees in a few minutes resulting in serious problems or death. Some places have severe penalties for leaving pets in cars and if your pet is locked in an unattended car, rescuers are allowed to break windows to get to your pet.
