Lunabrite Illumination Technology Puts Pet Safety First for Safe and Happy Holidays

Online, November 28, 2009 (Newswire.com) - It's time to make holiday plans and Lunabrite, an innovator of solar activated illuminated pet safety products wants to remind pet owners of the importance of putting pet safety at the top of your holiday to-do list.

Even though trees, wreaths, poinsettias and holly fill our homes with beauty, safety hazards abound. Secure your tree and clean loose pine needles from the floor at once. If eaten, needles can damage a pet's internal organs. Don't let pets drink Christmas tree water as it can contain chemicals or bacteria. Although putting an aspirin in Christmas tree water may prolong a tree's life, pets can become very ill by accidentally drinking it. Also, be aware that many plants are poisonous if ingested.

While family and friends are warmly welcomed during the holidays, unfamiliar visitors can create stress for pets. Animals may also become disoriented or skittish with the additional activity, loud noises, music and new faces may frighten them. Create a safe place for your pet to stay, such as a quiet bedroom.

Lunabrite recommends using a baby gate that will block access to an open door. Pets may become frightened and run away, thus facing harsh weather or unsafe conditions. If your pet should run away, react quickly by calling your local police department to report your pet missing. In many cases, the pet has wandered off to explore the outdoors and can be quickly recovered if you stay calm and act quickly.

Pets should wear identification tags with your updated contact information at all times. Consider products like the Sherpa Pet Group's "Be Seen, Be Safe", a line of illuminated collars leads and clothing that features Lunabrite, a leader in solar activated Illumination. These products improve pet safety while out of doors especially in winter months when sunlight is limited. Lunabrite technology provides a bright visible glow that makes finding your pet easier in the darkness and enhances your pet's visibility to pedestrians and motorists.

Make time for your pets during the holidays. The holiday season is a busy time of the year and sometimes it a challenge to provide our beloved pets with the attention they need. It is not only good for them, but studies have shown that spending time with your pets reduces your stress as well. Just a short walk outdoors can provide a welcome break and is enjoyable for both you and your pet. Simple changes to you and your pet's routine is essential for a happy and safe holiday season. Lunabrite wants to make sure your pets enjoy the season as much as you will with a few safety reminders.
