Andrea McLean Instagram – #AD I know how much joy having a pet brings into the home – since adopting Teddy from Battersea four years ago, he’s not just a dog, he is part of our family. But at Christmas things can become a bit chaotic with lots of people around and our furry friends finding it stressful – I know that Teddy does! That’s why I’ve teamed up with @pedigree_uk_official and @battersea on the Pedigree Relief Fund to help you have a stress-free holiday. There’s a couple of way we can help our little friends like: 😴Creating a quiet and safe space for them to escape visitors 🍗Being careful of harmful leftovers. Onions, garlic, dried fruit and leeks are all toxic to dogs 🍫Keeping chocolate out of reach – keep advent calendars & selection tins up high/in cupboards and be mindful of hanging choc decorations or choc gifts under the tree 🌿If you have plants like poinsettia, mistletoe, Ivy or Holly watch that they don’t get eaten or chewed because they can give dogs a bad belly 🎄Make sure decorations are properly secured and out of reach. Avoid leaving your pet in a room with lots of decorations when you are not at home What do you find most stressful? There’s plenty of other tips and tricks to help keep the stress away, so check out the Battersea website for more info. Have a very Merry Christmas!🎄 #PedigreeReliefFund #Battersea
