π Christmas tree & decorations
- Do you have a real Christmas tree with a sawn-off trunk? Make sure your dog or cat doesn't drink from the water the tree is in. That water can cause stomach upsets, such as diarrhea and vomiting.
- Secure the Christmas tree securely, especially with playful cats or enthusiastic dogs.
- Glass balls and streamers? Hang them a bit higher or replace them with safer alternatives.
π‘ Lights & cords
- Cords are fun to chew onβ¦ for your pet anyway π
Hide them or use cable protectors. - Turn off the lights when you are not at home.
π« Christmas food & treats
- Chocolate, grapes/raisins, onion, garlic, alcohol, and xylitol are poisonous to pets.
- Also watch out for bones (such as from turkey or chicken): they can splinter.
- Want to treat yourself? Choose our healthy and 100% natural snacks.
πΏ Plants & decoration
- Mistletoe, holly, poinsettia and lilies are poisonous to many animals.
- It is best to keep fake snow, glitter and potpourri out of reach.
π Gifts
- Wrapping paper, ribbons and bows are fun toys, but dangerous to swallow.
- Put them away immediately after unpacking.
π Rest & routine
- Crowds, visits and loud music can cause stress.
- Provide a quiet place where your animal can retreat.
- Try to keep eating and walking times as normal as possible.
This way, Christmas will not only be fun for you, but also safe and relaxing for your pet β¨
