Holiday Safety Tips For Your Pets

The Christmas Tree (Real or Fake)

Securely anchor your Christmas tree so your pet doesn't knock it over

Tree Decorations

Avoid tinsel, not only is it messy but your playful kitty could swallow it causing a possible stomach obstruction.

General Decorations

Keep electrical cords and Christmas lights out of reach for chewing puppies.
Glass bulbs, if one breaks clean up all the little pieces immediately so your pet doesn't eat it or step in it.

Turkey Trimmings and Christmas Candy

Do not give your dog turkey bones or fatty trimmings. Innards and possibly the neck are okay just make sure they are cooked. Do not give your dog candy, cookies or any type of sweets especially not chocolate. Chocolate can kill a dog! Same goes for any type of alcohol is a no. No nuts (walnuts or macadamia) for your pets

Christmas Plants

Avoid holly, mistletoe or poinsettia! These plants are poisonous to your pets!

Pet Toys

Got your pet a gift? Make sure it it pet-approved and it can't be swallowed.


Be Safe and Happy Holidays!
