A Christmas Goldendoodle


Are your children wanting a Goldendoodle this christmas? While puppies and dogs want a loving home year round, great consideration must be taken before adding a doodle or any dog during the holidays.
Many times children want a dog for christmas, but when the novelty wears off, who is left to care for the dog but the parents? Who can deny the excitement a child has when coming down to the christmas tree and finding one of their presents is barking? Or a box set to the side is moving about...even wiggling perhaps?
Eyes light up and squeels abound, but the holidays are hectic especially when you've planned for company and parties and school events, oh my!
We recommend obtaining your Goldendoodle before christmas so that the children can become acquainted with their new pet and your new doodle can become acquainted with its new home.
Children around the world will wake up to find a new pet under their christmas tree....but caution is a must. Christmas trees are dangerous and toxic to puppies and kitties. Accidental ingestion of a christmas ornament can cause intestinal blockage...even death. Holiday planets are poisonous as well. Lilies found in flower arrangements can be deadly to cats. Although poinsettias generally have a low toxicity, if ingested, poinsettias can irritate the mouth and stomach of your Goldendoodle, which can cause vomiting or nausea. Ribbons and tinsil look flashy and your doodle or kitty cat may find them enticing to play with or even chew. These items can become a hazard once swollowed.
Don't forget that even Goldendoodles lick their paws! If you live in an area where you must use products that help melt ice and snow, these products are deadly if eaten by a pet. If you notice excessive drooling, lethargy, vomiting in your Goldendoodle or kitty, it is possible he or she has ingested a hazardous item. Glass christmas tree bulbs can cut internal organs the moment they are swollowed...so please by all means...try and keep this holiday a safe one for you and your Goldendoodle and of course, your kitty too.
