Christmas Trees
Christmas trees and wreaths (pine, spruce, balsam fir) do not contain poisonous chemicals per se, but eating them (or their artificial relatives) can certainly cause an upset stomach—that is, vomiting and diarrhea. Dogs often will try to drink from Christmas-tree stands, so don’t doctor the water with anything to keep the tree fresh. The water also is a breeding ground for bacteria and molds that can upset your dog’s stomach, so it’s wise to fashion a cardboard lid for the stand to keep your dog from drinking the water.

My dogs forget all about it once the skirt is on.

Ditto on that!!!
We just don't put the chemicals in the water that make it last longer!

Bella drank the tree water last year it was kinda funny we would be watching tv and all of a sudden we would hear (shlerp shlerp ) and we would just add more water so she didn't drain it ! lol She was just fine
