Each month Petplan vet Brian Faulkner looks at some of the issues he comes across in his day-to-day life as a practising vet. On the lead up to Christmas, Brian shares insights from his surgery, plus helpful tips to keep the winter months’ fun and safe for pets and their owners. Every year around December we always see a few pets at the surgery with avoidable issues related to the Christmas festivities. Some of the most common visits are from owners whose pets have been injured by decorations or have been fed something unsuitable as a treat. We all want to involve our pets in our celebrations but there are precautions you should be taking before getting carried away with the Christmas excitement and I’m often asked how to strike a balance between a fun and safe Christmas for your pets.
