Dearest Pet Lovers,
When someone is ill, the family pet cat takes their job of helping heal them seriously! They jump up onto the bed or coach and add warmth and love to their human family member.
But think on this! The family is cautious with towels, toothbrushes etc....but what about the germs they lovingly hug, or accidentally cough, or sneeze onto the pet?
Wash your hands before and after you touch your family's pet. Place used kleenex in a paper bag beside the bed, or a garbage container.
May you, your family, and your family's pets stay healthy this holiday season!
