From the AVMA Pet Health SmartBrief:
Super Bowl Sunday advice: 4 tips to keep your pets safe from screaming fans
January 29, 2013
If
you’re an American, have eyes and ears, and enjoy eating, then you’re
probably celebrating Super Bowl Sunday this weekend — that wonderful
time of year when it’s all about delicious finger foods, screaming fans
and, yeah, football too.
But while you’re shrieking at the TV and jumping around like you’ve
never seen a football game before in your life, your poor, confused pets
will be taking the brunt of your excitement.
That’s why animal behaviorist Dr. Debra Horwitz and “America’s
Veterinarian” Dr. Marty Becker have partnered with Petco to help you
help your pet cope with football fever.
1. Don’t forget your pets’ needs.
Just because the biggest game of the year is on TV doesn’t mean your
pet can forgo his bathroom breaks and social needs. Record the
commercials — or watch them online later — and use that time to tend to
your four-legged friend. You can even take a quick trip to the dog park
if you can stand missing a few minutes of the game.
2. Keep the greasy wings away.
We mean from your dog — although it wouldn’t hurt if you banned them
from your own stomach as well. Do not be tempted to throw fattening
foods to your pets — particularly chicken wings, which they can choke
on. And make sure to remind your guests to refrain from the same.
3. Pause and pet.
There are moments during the Super Bowl when even humans can get a
tad frightened by the screaming fans — especially when you’re not paying
attention (or have no idea what’s going on). So how do you think your
pets feel when your neighbor takes a flying leap at the television? Make
sure to take a few moments during the game to show your pet some love.
The best part? Stopping to pet your dog (or even watching fish swim) can
help reduce your blood pressure and decrease cortisol, a hormone
related to stress and anxiety.
4. Find a quiet place.
If you find your pet looking anxious, set aside a quiet room for him
to retreat. It will calm him down and even give you some relief from the
insanity.
