Make the Holidays Safe for Pets
By following some simple tips, you can ensure a trouble-free holiday season for you and your pets.
There are some things from which you should shield your pets during the festive months.
Some common holiday plants are toxic to cats and dogs. Don’t keep holly, poinsettias, lilies or mistletoe on or near the floor, where pets have easy access to them.
If you have a live tree in your home, don’t let pine needles accumulate on the floor, as these needles can perforate the intestinal lining of dogs and cats. Additionally, trees should be tethered to a wall or the ceiling to prevent them from falling on pets.
Don’t leave unfamiliar extension cords fully exposed, as these can resemble chew toys, which could result in serious injury to your dog. Never leave lights plugged in when you are not at home.
