This holiday keep your pets safe from,
Toxic plants (poinsetta, holly, ivy, mistletoe) including watering solutions with fertilizers or bleach
Snow globes can contain etylene glycol which is highly toxic to pets if ingested
Ice melt salts and salt dough ornaments can be tasty to pets but can cause electrolyte imbalances
Candles
Electrical Cords and batteries
Toxic foods (xylitol, chocolate, raisins, grapes, currents, garlic, onions, macedamia nuts)
Damaging foods such at excessive fat, grease, uncooked yeast bread dough, and sharp splintery bones
Ornaments (especially glass), flocking, and other decorations
Garland, tinsel, wrapping twine/ribbon, hair ties
Presents and little toys that the kids might leave lying around that could be ingested
Human medications that house guests may bring in and accidentally allow the pet access to
Little two-legged humans that might want to terrorize the fur babies even if it’s from trying to love them too much.
(have a room or crate where the pets can get a way from it all and feel safe)
Excessive noise and commotion can also be stressful to pets (they hear much much better than we do)
And lastly, every year we get reports of Christmas trees that have either fainted in front of or attacked the mischievous family pet so make sure the tree is secure!–
