How to Throw a Dog Holiday Party

The Holidays are here and that means spending time with the ones we love the most, so why shouldn't we include our 4 footed friends too?

The Holidays are here and that means spending time with the ones we love the most, so why shouldn’t we include our 4 footed friends too? Visit Westgate Pet Clinic's website westgatepetclinicmn.com for tips on how to throw a fun and safe holiday party for you and your dog friends! Our top 3 tips are: 1.) Make sure to only allow play time between dogs that get along. 2.) Start the party outside in either a fenced back yard or at an off leash dog park to burn off excess energy before coming inside. 3.) Don't serve treats that take a long time to chew, like rawhides. Fights can break out if the dogs are left to eat near each other.
