Wood Glen TRAVELING WITH YOUR PET OVER THE HOLIDAYS? HERE ARE SOME TIPS THAT WILL HELP MAKE YOUR DRIVE SMOOTH SAILING.

Submitted by Kristen West 1. Take your pet on short trips prior to the big day to let him get used to traveling by car. 2. Keep your pet safe in a secured, well-ventilated crate or carrier. It should be large enough for your pet to stand, sit, lie down and turn around. Letting him have free range in the car not only puts him at risk, but it also poses a risk to your family if you were to stop suddenly. 3. Never let your dog travel in the bed of a truck. Even if he is secured on a short line to prevent him falling or jumping out, your pet can experience discomfort from the weather and wind or sustain injury from debris. 4. Feed your pet three or four hours prior to departure and avoid giving him any food or treats in the car. 5. Never leave your pet in a parked vehicle, which can quickly become a furnace and cause heatstroke, even with open windows. In cold weather, the car holds the temperature like a refrigerator. 6. Your pet’s microchip should be up-to-date and he should be wearing a flat collar and ID at all times. 7. Bring a bowl and extra water in case you get stuck in the inevitable holiday traffic jam! 8. Take lots of breaks to let your pet stretch his legs and relieve himself. It’s a great excuse to do some sight-seeing or pick up a fun treat for yourself!

WASH YOUR HANDS Reducing spread of disease while at home and work By: Concentra Urgent Care

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) say that nearly 90,000 patients die in U.S. hospitals each year due to a preventable disease – many could be avoided if everyone properly washed their hands. From germs on office equipment to sick colleagues who decided to come into work anyway, people face the same dangers in the workplace. The same simple fact holds true: Washing your hands regularly is an effective way to prevent yourself from catching or spreading a preventable disease or illness. When to wash your hands The CDC recommends washing your hands every time you: • Prepare or eat food • Use the restroom • Tend to someone who is sick; both before and after • Blow your nose, cough, or sneeze • Handle garbage • Treat a cut or wound • Change a diaper or clean up after children • Handle an animal or animal waste Hand washing basics The CDC has issued specific guidelines about effective hand washing: • Wet hands with water • Use plain bar or liquid soap • Create a lather by vigorously rubbing hands together for 15-20 seconds—about the amount of time it takes to sing “Happy Birthday” twice • Be sure to wash palms, back of hands, fingers, and nails (clean nails by gently scratching nails down your opposing soapy palm) • Rinse off soap under a stream of water What else can you do? • Focus on hand washing in the lunch and/or break room • Be careful when using sponges and dish towels. These are ideal sites for bacterial growth. Always wash your hands after using these items. • Maintain a clean work area; regularly clean any office equipment, especially shared items such as phones and keyboards. • Remind your colleagues of the importance of hand washing, particularly when you witness someone neglecting to wash his or her hands. For more information To learn more about how washing hands regularly can help prevent disease, ask your health care provider, or visit the CDC’s creative Web site dedicated to raising awareness of the importance of hand washing at www.henrythehand.com.
