New Year’s Day
If there was ever a time we wanted to ring in the New Year, it’s probably going to be this one. But don't worry if you do find yourself hanging with friends instead—your pet will still love spending the night with you!
History:
While most families enjoy celebrating New Year's Eve, it can pose a danger for pets. The sudden sounds, bright flashes of light, and other noises from fireworks and celebrations may frighten your cat or dog. Even if he or she isn't afraid of loud noises on a day to day basis, the raucous sounds (gunfire included) can cause your pet to run away.
How To Celebrate/ To-do List Ideas:
- Throw a small dog-friendly gathering.
- Set up a pet-friendly photo booth.
- Spend quality time together.
- Keep your dog busy.
- Keep your dog away from dangerous substances.
- Make NY resolutions for you and your dog to do together.
- Keep an eye on them at all times with a dog GPS tracker.
- Check that their collars are secure, with up-to-date and readable pet ID tags.
- Fireworks and New Year’s Eve: Keep it quiet. Find ways to keep the noise down at home.
- Whip up a batch of dog-friendly treats like these festive Orange Carob Dog Treats.
- Craft Pet-approved party hats (like these mini top hats) to bedazzle your dog.
- Kiss your pup at midnight. The New Year’s kissing tradition harkens back to superstitions about love.
