The holidays come with beautiful decorations, yummy treats, and joyous festivities, but it’s important to keep in mind that many holiday favorites are hazardous to our furry family members.🍫 Delicious DangersAlthough it’s tempting to share treats with our pets, it’s best to keep their diet the same this time of year, to avoid any stomach upset. Always keep toxic foods and alcoholic beverages away from your furry family members.🔌 Watch Out for WiresBe sure to keep wires, batteries, and ornaments out of paws' reach. A wire can deliver a potentially lethal electrical shock, a punctured battery can cause burns to the mouth and esophagus, while shards of breakable ornaments can damage your pet's mouth and digestive tract.🎄 Rockin’ Around the Christmas TreeChristmas trees pose a few potential threats to our furry friends. Make sure that trees and ornaments are tightly secured. Steer clear of tinsel for decoration – as it is very tempting to pets – but can result in an obstructed digestive tract, requiring surgery.🕯 Caution Around CandlesWhether you are lighting a menorah or scented candles, make sure you do not leave any open flames or candles unattended. Curious paws and wagging tails could knock them over.☃️ Snow GlobesThese beautiful collectables are made with ethylene glycol, the same chemical used in antifreeze, which is highly toxic to all pets. If a snow globe breaks, the sweet smell can attract pets, but ingestion can lead to potentially fatal intoxication. Be sure to keep fragile things away from pets and promptly clean any accidental breakages. ... See MoreSee Less
