In this episode of Pet Tips, host Nanette Wiser shares some tips for keeping your fur-babies safe and secure.
To keep pets safe on New Year's Eve, create a calm, indoor sanctuary away from fireworks and guests, ensure they have up-to-date ID/microchips, keep them leashed if outside, and remove dangerous human foods, alcohol, and decorations like confetti, as loud noises and chaos can cause panic and escape attempts.

- Safe Haven: Set up a quiet, interior room with their bed, toys, and blankets to block sounds and lights.
- Mask Noises: Use white noise, a TV, or soft music to muffle fireworks and party sounds.
- Exercise Early: A long walk or play session before the festivities tire them out, helping them rest later.
- Maintain Routine: Stick to regular feeding and walking times as much as possible.
- Toxic Foods Keep alcohol (even spills), chocolate, grapes, onions, and rich foods far out of reach.
- Decorations: Put away confetti, tinsel, balloons, and decorative lights that can be ingested or chewed.
- Fireworks: Don't let pets near fireworks, sparklers, or party poppers; the debris is also dangerous if swallowed.
