Once again the holiday season is upon us. For the past few weeks, we have been searching high and low for the perfect holiday gift for our friends and family. Some will receive a gift card to their favorite store or restaurant. Nice choice, but once it is used, it is gone. Some will receive clothing. Maybe a nice robe and slippers that will keep them warm and snugly will do the trick. However, is the size correct and will they like the color? So, what gift can be given that stays around for years to come, keeps the recipient warm and snugly but never wears out or gets discarded and comes in many wonderful colors and sizes?

You may have seen or heard about medical ID bracelets or hang tags for people with diabetes or other serious medical conditions. Well, they make these tags for pets, too. I recommend getting a medical ID tag for your pet if they are on insulin for diabetes or another medication that is vital to their health.

Does your dog or cat have current ID tags? If not, you can go to Petsmart or Petco and have new ones made instantly. As an animal communicator, I get a lot of lost pet calls. Many of the pets do not have collars or ID tags because they don't typically leave their backyard or home. But, when they decide to leave to explore the neighborhood, it is always easier for animal control or anyone else that finds your pet to get your pet back to you if they have your information.
Do you have a dog that likes to dig in the yard? If so, you may want to fill a sandbox or tractor tire with sand, bury some dog toys in the sand and show him/her that this is a fun place to dig. You may want to get in the sandbox or tractor tire and show him/her that you have buried 'goodies' in the sand at first. Eventually, it will become second nature to your dog where to dig for a surprise rather than digging in the flower bed or under the fence.

If your pet has seizures, ask your vet to test him/her for food allergies. One of my dogs began to have seizures shortly after I brought him home from the shelter. I had my veterinarian perform a comprehensive allergy test (using a blood sample) and discovered that he had many allergies, including chicken and rice, which were both in the food that he was eating.

While fireworks are a lot of fun for us to watch, please remember that most pets are scared of the loud noises that fireworks make when they are detonated. Please arrange to keep your pets indoors on the 4th of July (and any holiday where fireworks will be part of the celebration). Spend time with them while they are inside. If you won't be home, leave a radio or television on to help mask the sound of the fireworks. You can also add some Bach Rescue Remedy to their water to help with any anxiety that they may have related to the fireworks going off.
