Partying is an excellent way to unwind, but keep in mind that your pet may not be as appreciative of the crowd as you and your friends might be. Our animals may have a soft spot for us, but that doesn't mean they'll tolerate rowdy, drunk people invading their space.
An agitated animal and a group of intoxicated humans make a disastrous mix. Your pet may interpret your friends' playful, drunken behavior as aggression and retaliate. And an otherwise fun evening will turn sour fast.
Always reserve a space for your pet before you commit to hosting a party at your house. If there's going to be loud music, try to keep it out of your pet's space by closing the door. You can also leave a generous amount of food and toys so your pet can amuse itself while the party is ongoing.
But if your pet likes to socialize with people, let the little guy join the party. Just make sure to account for all potential escape routes. Loud party noises can send an animal running off into the streets, which is the last thing you want.
If your pet is showing any signs of illness, make an appointment with your vets Columbia, MD.
