Are you ready to say goodbye to 2014 and welcome the New Year?  If you are hosting a New Year's Eve party at your home with friends and family this year, here are a few tips to help make sure your celebration is safe and enjoyable for your pets, too.

Pet-Friendly New Year's Eve Tips:

• Provide Identification - Fireworks and loud noises can be stressful for pets.  Identification tags or microchips can help identify your pet in the unfortunate event they become lost amid the commotion.
• Keep Alcohol Out-of-Reach - If you will be toasting with champagne at midnight, make sure that the glasses and bottles are away from any pets who may be able to reach them.  Be sure to clean up any spills right away too!
• Provide a Safe Place - Make sure that your pet has a safe place to get away from the commotion of your New Year's Eve celebration.  This will help reduce stress if your pet becomes overwhelmed.
