On Christmas we celebrate and have fun with family and friends, but this period can be a source of stress for pets. There is a possibility that your four-legged friend will get sick because he is eating something he shouldn't or for other reasons.

So Bemorepanda gives you a small guide to help your non-speaking friend get through the holidays safely and happily.

Stress. During the Christmas period, many pets can suffer from the stress caused by this period. Many things, such as the arrival of friends and family to visit, loud noises, fireworks and excited children running around can trigger stress. Cats are the most sensitive, because any change in their daily routine can trigger stress. One tip to help them is to give them a quiet and safe refuge. You can put their bowls of food and water in a quiet bedroom. You can also consider using pheromone products or herbal medicines that will help you relax and calm down.

The decorations. Christmas is not Christmas without a big Christmas tree covered with lights and globes. The decorations help us make the house have a festive aura, but for dogs and cats they can be something new to play with or worse, something new to eat.

Ball-loving dogs may not be able to resist the temptation to play with the shiny glass globes. Cats may not be able to see the sound of a bell. For the safety of pets, monitor their activity and keep these objects as far away from them as possible.

These ornaments can cause gastrointestinal problems (the object may become blocked or cause cuts). Also, depending on the materials used to make them, some ornaments can be toxic when ingested.

Tinsel and ribbons. Cats really like to play with strings on which various toys are hung, and the tinsel, being shiny, is even more attractive. Although tinnitus is not poisonous, if it is eaten it can cause intestinal damage and surgery may be needed to remove it. The same goes for ribbons. If portions of the ribbon are food, they can in the worst case cause death of the animal by asphyxiation or, if they reach the intestine, they can cause injuries. And in the case of globes, you have to be careful. Hanging on the branches of the tree, the cat will find them as the perfect toys. If you accidentally break a globe, it can be cut into shards.

In order for these things not to happen, it would be good to get your four-legged child used to the decorations and the Christmas tree, or to install it in a room where he does not have access.

Plants. Some festive plants are poisonous. Poinsettia, for example, can cause hypersalivation, lethargy, vomiting and depression. There are other plants, such as mistletoe that can cause vomiting and diarrhea. The fir tree, although not considered toxic, can become dangerous if the needles are ingested or not collected after they have fallen. They can cause cushioning or intestinal damage. So it's a good idea to make sure those falls are collected regularly.

House lily (Amaryllis) is a very popular plant during the winter season. Flowers and leaves are toxic to animals, and the flower bulb is even more toxic. If your pet has ingested flowers or leaves, it will suffer from vomiting, excessive salivation and diarrhea. If the animal has managed to eat from the bulb, especially in large quantities, it can cause weakness, tremor, seizures and changes in blood pressure.

Christmas lights. If your furry likes to play with cables, then it is important to keep it away from the lights in the Christmas tree when they are on. If you nibble them while they are on, they will transmit a fairly large shock that will be fatal. My advice is not to leave the lights on when you sleep or when you are away from home.

Electric shock can be fatal to your pet. Electric shock can cause fluid to build up in the lungs, called non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema. This condition can cause respiratory problems and can be fatal.

Lighted candles. They must be kept on a stand, at a height that curious quadrupeds cannot reach.

A burn in the mouth can cause significant pain, and can lead to food refusal in the case of pets. If you notice that your pet is reluctant when it comes to food, salivates excessively or shows signs of sore mouth (for example, does not want to play with his toys), seek medical attention immediately.

The food. Christmas is for us the period when we forget about diets and pamper ourselves with delicious dishes. Christmas dishes are not only tempting for us, but also for them, especially if they are left at their fingertips. It would be best to store them carefully and not give them away (not even a little).

Walnuts. These nuts, especially macadamia nuts, can be toxic and cause muscle weakness, hypothermia and tremor in dogs. For cats this food is forbidden.

The bones. Whether you are cooking chicken, turkey, pork or beef, avoid giving your companion bones. These, once cooked, are quite brittle and can cause many injuries both in the pharynx and in the lining of the stomach and intestines, and if not intervened quickly can be fatal.

Alcohol. Many of us enjoy one or two glasses of alcohol. But don't forget the unattended glass if you have a dog around. Pets have a very low tolerance to alcohol, which causes serious liver damage.

Onions and related vegetables (garlic and leeks) should be kept away from them, as they can cause weakness, depression and lethargy.

Grapes, raisins and sultanas. These fruits are very dangerous for both dogs and cats. If eaten within 24 to 72 hours of ingestion may cause kidney failure.

Chocolate is dangerous because it contains an ingredient called theobromine. If your quadruped eats chocolate, it causes vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, changes in heart rate and, in severe cases, seizures. If you want to treat your fur with something sweet, you can get special chocolate for him from the pet shop.

Gifts. At Christmas you can treat your companion with a multitude of gifts, but you have to make sure that they do not hurt him. For example, if you want to take a collar from your cat, it must be of the "quick release" type, so that if your cat is caught with the collar in a tight place, it can be released. The same goes for dogs.

Christmas Tree. The most common species of natural Christmas trees are fir, pine and forest pine. In general, these trees are not very toxic, but the more the pet eats, the higher the level of toxicity.

Christmas tree-specific oils can cause irritation to the mouth and stomach, causing excessive salivation or even vomiting. The needles of these trees are not easily digestible and can cause gastrointestinal irritation, vomiting, obstruction or puncture.

Make sure your pets do not have access to the water of the Christmas tree (if you have it in a pot). Dogs and cats can get sick from preservatives, pesticides, fertilizers or other agents such as aspirin, which can often be found in water to keep the tree in good condition. It is best to keep the water for the tree in a covered pot.

Natural Christmas trees are not the only problem. Artificial firs may contain toxic and indigestible materials that can cause intestinal obstruction.

The good thing about artificial firs is that the materials they are made of are stinging and usually not pleasant to chew. Most of the time the animals will not consume large amounts of these materials.\

Take care of you and your loved ones on this holiday!

Merry Christmas 2022! HO-HO-HO

Christmas is coming! Family meals, carols, Christmas tree decorations and other activities specific to this period make us say that the magic of this holiday is unique.

But do our pets enjoy the coming of Christmas as much as we do? We want to believe that yes. That is why we consider that the furs of the house are also waiting for the coming of Christmas. But Bemorepanda will also give you some tips on how to spend Christmas safely.

1.Looking at Christmas lights

The snow.

In winter, most of the time, we are delighted with the white snow that spreads everywhere. Most cats do not enjoy the first snowflakes, but dogs can't wait to roll through it. A walk through the snow-covered park will surely charge you with energy and good cheer.

Gifts.

Who doesn't love gifts? Surely your pet will be happy to receive a new collar, a new toy or, why not, a coat. At shop you will find toys, accessories and clothes in the theme of winter holidays to enjoy a magical Christmas with them.

Gift boxes.

The greatest pleasure of cats during this period is certainly the empty gift boxes. So, while you enjoy the gifts you receive, the cats will enjoy the boxes they came in. We say it's a win-win situation.

Time spent together.

This period is also adored by the quadrupeds of the house and due to the attention we pay. As winter activities in the garden and household are less and less, we have more free time to play with pets. In this way you will contribute to their well-being for a long time.

Everyone's favorite holiday New Year can be overshadowed by problems with our pets. We are happy about the holiday, and all this can cause stress, malaise and even worse for pets. We suggest that you be very attentive to the advice of veterinarians and ensure your pets are completely safe.

One of the most exciting topics for many of us is fireworks. Dog owners know firsthand what a difficult time comes during the New Year holidays. For some reason, cats are attracted to the Christmas tree, like a magnet, and birds hunt for homemade food. Most serious health problems for pets can be avoided by considering 6 important things and thinking not only about your holiday mood, but also about those we have tamed.

Cats happily eat tinsel and rain from foil - this can be deadly, surgery is often necessary to remove the foreign body to avoid intestinal injury. Cats also show interest in artificial spruce needles. Most often, such problems occur in long-haired and semi-long-haired cats during molting. Since the cat's tongue is equipped with keratinized papillae, which capture dead hairs. A hairball forms in the cat's stomach - a phytobezoar, from which the cat seeks to get rid of. To rid the cat of it, it is necessary to give a special food for removing hairballs, malt paste or sprouted oats. Then the cat will not try to eat inedible items. Indoor plants will also remain safe. But it’s better not to use tinsel to decorate the tree.

Dogs and cats often take an interest in electric garlands. It is recommended to hang them higher and turn them off when leaving the room. Be aware that dogs are very susceptible to electrical shock. Cats are also not indifferent to low-current wires.

Glass breakable toys are dangerous for animals. Debris from them can bite into the paw and cause severe bleeding. In addition, a piece of glass may be swallowed by your pet, causing intestinal trauma.

And, finally, do not forget that the tree must be properly secured - if it falls, it can injure the animal. You can additionally spray the tree with a spray to scare cats away from indoor plants. Be aware that spruce needles can dig into the delicate pads of cats and dogs, which can cause pododermatitis. If your animals are young and playful, then you can limit yourself to a bouquet of spruce branches or a small designer Christmas tree. Clean the surfaces of the fallen needles every day.

Many dogs are very afraid of New Year's fireworks, volleys of firecrackers and rumbles. It is necessary to accustom the animal to the clapping of firecrackers in advance. For example, you can turn on the dog to record the holiday fireworks at first quietly and then louder. You can give your dog an anti-stress complex based on medicinal plants and vitamins, about which it is better to consult your veterinarian. Keep in mind that these medications must be started two weeks before the New Year. Remember that your dog can get hurt if he grabs the firecracker.

Do not take your pet for a walk on New Year's Eve, take a walk in the evening and early in the morning. Keep your dog on the leash. Replace the collar with a harness to prevent the pet from twisting out of it. Attach a tag to the collar. Remember that a large number of dogs are injured and killed under the wheels of cars, frightened by explosions of firecrackers. If the dog is panicky afraid of fireworks, then you can celebrate the New Year at the dacha.

Do not give anything to animals from the table. This leads to indigestion, poisoning and serious diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. In addition, food allergies can occur in the animal. Dishes prepared with the addition of salt, sugar, spices and preservatives are categorically contraindicated for pets. If you have birds in your house, let's fly indoors where the table is not set.

Feed the animals their normal food, be sure to provide them with enough drinking water and close them in the next room. You can prepare a special holiday treat for them. But do not forget to replenish pet food stocks before the New Year, because the workers of pet shops also rest on the New Year, and supplies may be interrupted due to the New Year holidays.

Never give alcoholic beverages to animals. And do not go out for a walk with the dog intoxicated. Just in case, be sure to attach an address tag to the dog's collar and do not let go of the leash. Try to stay away from drunken companies, because the dog can show aggression. It is better to put on a muzzle on a large dog for your own peace of mind and in order to avoid conflict situations. Do not let small children go for a walk with the dog.

Unfortunately, sometimes the owners, in a state of alcoholic intoxication, forget their pets on the street, which leads to frostbite of the paws in quadrupeds and colds. If you are going to celebrate, it is best to leave your pet at home. Maybe for relatives who prefer a quiet home celebration.
