From American Humane: Holiday Pet-iquette. Here are some ways you can make the upcoming holidays more enjoyable for your pets -- without compromising safety.
Do:
Take your dog for extra walks to relieve holiday stress for you both.
Make sure holiday guests know your pet's routine and food allowances. Disruptions to either can be upsetting and even unhealthy for animals.
If your pet is shy or nervous, make sure he has a quiet place to sleep and relax during any holiday gatherings at your home.
Don't:
Dress your pet in costumes that are uncomfortable or hazardous (for example, tying something around a pet's neck is never a good idea).
Feed your pet turkey bones, gravy or other rich "people foods" that could cause obstructions or indigestion.
Decorate with tempting yet potentially dangerous items, such as tinsel, which could end up impairing a curious pet's digestion.
