Christmas has come upon us faster than a pooch at dinner time and there’s no busier month of the year than when we’re getting ready for the fun festivity. That’s why we have made this quick, little list of things you need to think about to give your fur family a good Christmas too!
- Vaccinations : It’s important that your pet’s vaccinations are current as any kennel or boarding facility require that your fur friends be up to date to stay.
- Parasite Prevention : Summer are the hardest months when it comes to fleas, ticks and worms so it’s important not to let parasite treatments lapse.
- Treats : Giving out goodies is part of Christmas, so that doesn’t mean that your fur friend has to miss out! Stock up on some tasty, pet-friendly treats to give your pet a big smile! *Pet Doctors currently has a $5 & $10 discount sticker promotion running for flea, tick and maintenance dog and cat food!
- Vet Opening Hours : Check your Vet opening hours over the holiday season and make sure you have the contact details of an emergency Vet nearby.

Remember to keep those Christmas treats out of paw’s reach as many contain toxic ingredients to our pets. Making sure they don’t chow down on any Christmas decks is also a good idea as things can get stuck in their digestive tract and require surgery to remove.
