Pet owners are being urged to give their animals space at what can be an overwhelming time of the year.
The ManxSPCA says the Christmas and New Year period can be an unsettling time - particularly for cats and dogs.
The charity is reminding people to give animals space to remove themselves from noise and busy areas - particularly if there are extra people in the house.
