May the Holidays Bring You Fur-Balls… and Snow-Balls!
(Deerfield Beach, FL) Designing Spaces Holiday Special wouldn’t be complete without talking about family. On this O2 Media Productions segment we’ve chosen to talk about that special edition of the family-- your pet! Designing Spaces has invited back again American Pet Products Association (APPA) to help discuss pets, from safety issues to adopting during the holidays.
American Pet Products Association (APPA) is made up of nearly one-thousand pet product manufacturers and suppliers, and joining this O2 Media special is Bob Vetere, President of APPA.
Bob says, “All the increased activity and visitors during the holiday season can upset your pet’s routine. Try to keep your pet on his regular schedule for feeding and exercise. Also, don’t forget to give them attention and love. Pets are sensitive to how you interact with them, so remember they are a part of the household too”!
The APPA cares about your pets, especially around the holidays. Bob covers pet safety tips—from head to tail! They’ll discuss what “not” to put on your trees, as well as what holiday plants to be aware of that could be harmful to your pets.
And if you’re thinking of adopting a pet around the holidays, the APPA has some great information and tips. Bob adds, “Not every family or adopter will have a hectic holiday. Many will actually have more time to spend with their new pet due to holiday time off. Despite warnings about holidays being a hard time of year to adopt, families continue to invite more new pets into their homes”.
The APPA knows when prospective adopters are turned away by groups who won't adopt during the holidays-- they just go somewhere else rather than saving the life of a homeless animal. Remember, for the few animals that are adopted-- they at least didn’t have to spend the holidays in a cage at a shelter.
