Deck The Paws, Christmas Is Here!

The festive season is upon us and one of the biggest enjoyments at this time of year is the family gatherings and the rich wonderful flavoursome food. With all the business and extra visitors around, spare a thought for your cats and dogs who may not be used to the sudden increase in people and noise.

Stairgates can be a useful way to ease anxieties and provide a safe boundary for your pets if they are feeling unsettled and anxious.

Make sure visitors know the do’s and don’ts around your pets and it is especially important to be clear with children to be calm and to never approach your pooch when they are sleeping or eating.
