Visitors can change noise levels, door traffic and access to food. A few preparations can reduce avoidable stress and safety problems.
Set up a quiet retreat
Give your pet a room or resting place away from heavy traffic.
Manage doors carefully
Tell guests not to leave exterior doors or gates open.
Store food securely
Keep unsuitable foods, rubbish and drinks out of reach.
Maintain familiar routines
Keep feeding, walks and litter care as consistent as possible.
