Even if you have a pet sitter, there will be times when pets are alone. Planning ahead can make a lot of difference.<\/p>\n<p>For home safety when you&#8217;re away, Deb Coller, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adt.com\/\">ADT<\/a> vice president, recommends having <strong>monitored carbon monoxide and fire alarms<\/strong>. This is smart advice. One of my biggest pet fears when I&#8217;m away is that my cat will be stuck at home with no way to escape during a fire or other emergency. If you have alarms monitored with a reputable security company, trained operators are waiting at all times to alert first responders.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-136472\" src=\"http:\/\/images1.blisstree.com\/files\/2009\/12\/pet-alert-cling.jpg\" alt=\"pet-alert-cling\" width=\"350\" height=\"366\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Another recommendation from Coller is to attach a <strong>pet alert window cling<\/strong> to a front window. The cling provides time-saving pet information to rescuers. Since home fires increase during the holidays, now&#8217;s a very good time to get your window cling.

Keep pets away from fireplaces by using a sturdy screen, and keep pine needles, tree water and poisonous holiday plants like poinsettias, mistletoe, holly and lilies away from cats and dogs.
