Top 5 Holiday Pet Safety Tips
Keep your pets happy and healthy this holiday season
with these quick safety reminders:
Skip the Table Treats: Chocolate, onions, grapes, and
artificial sweeteners such as xylitol are toxic - stick to pet-safe
snacks.
Decorate Wisely: Keep tinsel, ornaments, and lights out of
reach to avoid curious paws and accidental ingestions.
Choose Safe Scents: Avoid open flames and try simmer
pots, soy, or beeswax candles for a cozy, pet-friendly glow.
Protect Those Paws: Apply paw wax before walks and
rinse off salt or ice melt afterward to prevent irritation.
Avoid Hidden Hazards: Non-stick Teflon pans can
release fumes harmful to pets, especially birds. Choose
stainless steel or cast iron instead.
A little extra care goes a long way in keeping your furry
friends safe, warm, and part of the holiday cheer.

WHY LOCAL
MATTERS
Behind every local business is a
neighbor who took a chance on our
community. They’re the ones who stock
the shelves themselves, remember
your favorite order and cheer on the
same hometown teams you do.
When you spend your money with
them, much more of it stays here,
paying local employees, supporting
other area businesses and
funding the fundraisers, festivals
and food drives that make this a
great place to live.
Big box stores and online giants
may be convenient, but they
can’t replace the character of a
thriving downtown or the personal
service of someone who truly cares. This holiday season, try
shopping local first. Find a handmade gift, give a gift card to a
favorite restaurant, or treat someone to a service from a hometown
provider. Every purchase is a vote for the kind of community you
want to keep.
