Christmas Safety Pet Awareness:

It is very important to keep your pet safe during the holiday season. These are just some things to think about during the holidays. 

• Ornaments can cause hazards for pets. Breakable ornaments can cause injuries, and swallowed ornaments can cause intestinal blockage or illness. Keep any ornaments, including those made from salt-based dough or other food-based materials, out of reach of pets.
• Tinsel, ribbons, wreaths, and other decorative materials can also be tempting for pets to play with and eat. These items, whether swallowed whole or in part, can cause choking or intestinal blockage.
• Christmas trees can tip over if pets climb on them or try to play with the lights and ornaments. Consider tying your tree to the ceiling or a doorframe using fishing line to secure it.
• Water additives for Christmas trees can be hazardous to your pets if swallowed. Avoid adding anything to the water for your tree if you have pets in the house.
