GoTo for Pets Holiday Pets — David Stone, DVM, Bloomingrove Veterinary Hospital
There must be a list around here somewhere of the stuff veterinarians are supposed to write about for all of the holiday issues of magazines this time of year…you know, the list and accompanying stories of the horror of tinsel and chocolate and poinsettias and ribbon and electricity and hot stoves and holly berries…and didn’t we just read that article a few months ago? No, we read it for the tenth time last year. It just seems like yesterday. I don’t want to have to re-invent the list. I’d probably miss a few important things. We should just skip the list and jump to some bottom line…like “BE SENSIBLE.” Not much of a ring, but it captures the whole thing. Don’t give eggnog to the dog. BE SENSIBLE captures that. Don’t string lights on the cat, don’t apply tape to the cat’s fur. It may be funny, but it’s torture. Don’t torture. It says bad things about you. Strive for good things. I’m thinking this little BE SENSIBLE phrase
Is a Puppy or Kitten for Christmas Always a Bad Idea? Everyone hears about pets as gifts not being a good idea, but here are a couple of ways to make it a great idea: A very well-planned gift of a dog or cat can make the pet a healthy, beloved part of the family. When a parent decides the family is ready for pet ownership and that the holidays is the right time to introduce everyone to a new member of the family, they can visit a local animal shelter, ask plenty of questions, and choose a pet who would be a right fit for the family. Get acquainted with the idea of a pet, plan for its arrival, and collect necessary items – collar, leash, food bowls, food, etc. – before the pet gets home, to make the family ready and willing participants in the planned gift. When the recipient is right (someone who truly wants a pet and understands and accepts the responsibility involved), and the gift is well planned, cats and dogs can be the greatest gifts a family ever receives. Another way is to encourage animal adoption. While allowing your loved one to choose their own pet and sparing the animal the stress of Christmas chaos, instead of the actual animal, give something that paves the way for a pet to be chosen later. Many animal shelters offer gift certificates, so you can pay the adoption fees for the future pet owner, but let them choose their new best friend when they are ready. Items like pet toys, leashes, food dishes, and pet beds are also great gifts for someone who you know plans to get a pet soon. Pets are very much in the Holiday spirit: A pet is a blessing, a member of the family, a true friend for life and a memory forever. If you choose to give one this Christmas, make sure it will be well cared for and loved.

Pets of the Month should get a copyright or something before it takes off. I don’t think telling someone NOT to buy their sweetheart a puppy for Christmas is going to stop them. The “It’s sooo adorable!” factor kicks in and all reason is swept away. What else does BE SENSIBLE take care of? Don’t bring your dog to your in-laws’ for the holidays. They’ll say they like him, but curse you as they step in the poop you missed. Be sensible. It covers the security rules regarding counter-surfers and baked goods. It covers the cats drinking from the Christmas tree holder. It covers dogs drinking beer. This all-purpose phrase might just make it onto a tee-shirt. Be sensible this holiday season and most likely you and your pet will be safe – you’ll make it through.
“If your dog doesn’t like someone, you probably shouldn’t either.” ~ Unknown

The Capital District has many great, locallyowned stores that depend on us to shop them and use their services for the holidays. Here are five reasons that should commit you to shopping locally this holiday season: 1. You don’t have to travel far. 2. You don’t have to battle lines at the mall. 3. You can get help from the shop owners. Small business owners usually know their stock well and can help you choose the perfect gift, not just find it. 4. The money you spend stays in your community. When you spend money locally, it stays local. 5. You can find amazingly unique gifts and services. At small local shops you can find some great unique items that aren’t available at the big-box stores and services that really care about their customers.
