How to Keep Fido Safe Amidst All of the Super Bowl Festivities

Super Bowl Sunday is almost here and it's important to keep your dog safe! Find out how below:

Super Bowl Sunday is almost upon us. But there are a few things about a Super Bowl party that are downright dangerous for dogs. Here are a few tips that will help you make sure your dog is safe during the big game.

1. Snack Foods Should Be Kept Out Of Reach

While you may enjoy your treats, your pup should stick to his own foods, as the common appetizers at a Super Bowl party are very dangerous for dogs. Keep food off the coffee table and out of your dog’s reach.

2. Watch The Alcohol And Caffeine

Alcohol is a toxin. It can cause any number of problems for dogs including vomiting, diarrhea, difficulty breathing, tremors, loss of coordination, abnormal blood acidity, coma, or even death. Keep the drinks in hand and away from dogs.

3. Secure Your Waste

It makes sense to leave a trash bin in an open space so your guests can find it quickly, but if your guests can get to it easily, so can your dog. Keep the garbage in a secure place, and just let guests know where it is.

4. Cheering, Shouting, And Dogs Don’t Mix

Noise anxiety is a real thing in dogs, and it can be dangerous. If your dog is prone to fear of strangers and loud noises, keep him in a secure room away from the action.

5. Drinkers Are Clumsy, So Watch Out

There’s nothing wrong with having a few drinks. It’s a party, after all. But the lack of coordination and reduction in motor skills can lead people to be clumsy. Keep an eye on your guests. If they seem to be having one too many, it may be time for the dog to find a safer room to stay in.

6. Avoid The Hassle

Your pup isn’t going to have nearly as much fun as you are at a Super Bowl party. Instead, just avoid the problems by putting your dog in a safe room with the radio on so he can relax.
