Christmas pet survival guide
As the saying goes, a dog (or any animal) is not just for Christmas. Pets are family, and if Christmas is a time for celebrating togetherness, then our animals must be included. Seasonal indulgence in food, drink and the giving of dubious presents usually extends to the nation’s pets. Dogs may be bought ill-fitting winter coats or flashing reindeer horns and cats hightech virtual mice or exotic treats. But be prepared for disappointment. Bear in mind, it is usually the wrappings that are appreciated by cats more than the contents.
