Remind others to help you keep your dog healthy, by being careful to only give your pet healthy treats at the proper time.

3. Safety during the Holidays

During the holidays there might be more dangers than usually. Here are a few of the many harmful items you should keep you dog away from: chocolates, poinsettias, electrical cords, and other small kid's toys. Safety also relates to our pets and we should pay attention to keep our small pets out of harms way.

"The key to your dog's health is the appropriate amount of a nutritionally balanced diet. Dogs that are fed a high quality pet food do not need table food supplementation. If your dog spends most of his time outside, he will actually need more calories in the winter to stay warm, so you should increase his food intake by 10-15% in the colder months." -- Dr. Jonathan Shuman
