Pet Smart April deals and Easter sales for keeping pets healthy and safe this holiday

Pet Smart has a lot of great deals for the month of April. If you haven't purchased an Easter present for your pet, then you might want to hurry and get something for the holiday too. While many of the deals below actually begin after Easter, there are still many Easter sales going on that you can take advantage of.

For many people, pets are members of the family. They may seem like children or just an additional part of the family that is loved, appreciated and respected. Some people feel that pets appreciate their owners in a way that is different than human companionship. Because of the closeness many pet owners feel regarding their pets, it isn't uncommon for people to include their pets in their holiday activities.

Easter is a wonderful holiday to enjoy with your pet. Have you ever considered creating Easter baskets specifically for your pet? You can fill Easter baskets with edible and non-edible treats and ensure that your pets aren't left out during this holiday. It's important that we treat our pets with love, kindness, respect and compassion. By including them in your holiday activities, you can rest assured that your pet knows how much you love and care for him or her. You can always add dog or cat toys, treats, bones, catnip or special food treats to your pet's Easter basket.

Children's Easter baskets can pose a health risk to most pets. Flowers such as Easter lilies, the artificial and plastic grass used to line Easter baskets, plastic eggs, or hard-boiled egg shells, hard candy and chocolate all pose risks to your pet.

Easter grass poses a chocking hazard, specifically for cats and kittens. Due to the way grass moves, it instantly becomes an appealing plaything for our feline family members. Make certain that Easter grass stays

in baskets and is properly disposed of. Keep it out of your pet's reach to prevent potentially life threatening consequences.

There are dangers with hard-boiled eggs as well. Eggs carry salmonella, and as they are often hidden in yards for egg hunts, there is a chance that some eggs will be left behind; only to be found by curious pets at a later date and time. This can prove detrimental as the Easter egg may be ridden with bacteria and can lead to severe illness if pets consume them.

Chocolate is never a suitable treat for your pet and can pose serious health issues. Chocolate is toxic to pets and can cause intense hyperactivity that can lead to death. While you may want to give your pet special treats for Easter, make certain to keep chocolate treats away from your pet. Consider choosing dental treats for your pet as these are often enjoyable, yet help ensure your dog's teeth remain in good condition.

Though Easter is associated with baby bunnies and cute, fluffy chicks, it is never a good idea to purchase or adopt farm animals on Easter. This is often an impulse buy, and many times family's quickly realize that they are not adequately prepared to care for rabbits and chickens. Chickens are a known carrier of salmonella, and this can pose a serious health hazard and risk for children, the elderly and those with a compromised immune system. Due to the health risks, most veterinarians as well as pediatricians do not recommend owning chickens as household pets.

Keep in mind that many pet stores will being to stock bunnies and rabbits specifically for the Easter holiday. Rabbits are adorable creatures and their fur is extremely soft and fluffy. They can be difficult to resist during the Easter season and children will most likely squeal with delight at the sight of rabbits running around a pen. Some pet stores have been known to place bunnies in a housing area that is near the store front window so

passerbys can see the bunnies playing, frolicking and sleeping in a strategy to increase sales. These tactics are extremely effective and unless you have resolved ahead of time not to purchase a rabbit at Easter, you may find yourself coming home with a very excited child and one or two new bunnies. These pets often wind up in shelters and many counties find that they become so overburdened with these animals that they simply can't take any more in. Consider stuffed animals for children during the Easter holiday, and instead embrace the pets you already have, rather than purchasing new pets that may end up needing another home down the line.

This Easter holiday, Pet Smart has a lot of great deals that will help you save on needed pet items. You may check out the Easter sales and April deals below.
