S2 Ep1558: PET TIPS Keep Your Fur-Baby Safe & Secure on New Year's Eve

In this episode of Pet Tips, host Nanette Wiser shares some tips for keeping your fur-babies safe and secure.To keep pets safe on New Year's Eve, create a calm, indoor sanctuary away from fireworks and guests, ensure they have up-to-date ID/microchips, keep them leashed if outside, and remove dangerous human foods, alcohol, and decorations like confetti, as loud noises and chaos can cause panic and escape attempts.  Safe Haven: Set up a quiet, interior room with their bed, toys, and blankets to block sounds and lights. Mask Noises: Use white noise, a TV, or soft music to muffle fireworks and party sounds. Exercise Early: A long walk or play session before the festivities tire them out, helping them rest later. Maintain Routine: Stick to regular feeding and walking times as much as possible.  Toxic Foods Keep alcohol (even spills), chocolate, grapes, onions, and rich foods far out of reach. Decorations: Put away confetti, tinsel, balloons, and decorative lights that can be ingested or chewed. Fireworks: Don't let pets near fireworks, sparklers, or party poppers; the debris is also dangerous if swallowed.  #pettips #newyearseve #petsafety #pethealth #nanettewiser #stpete #stpetefl  #tampabay #radio #radiostpete #cityofstpete  #dtsp #downtownstpete
