Kitten dies after eating/nibbling of *real* Xmas tree that had been sprayed with fake snow. A lady shopped at Home Depot and purchased a real tree that had been sprayed, she was assured it was Pet Friendly..... Well it appears as if it was not. Her kitten died after exposure to this tree. A necropsy is underway right now to determine the COD. How-ever investigation into the ingredients comprising the fake snow yielded the first ingredient as what is found in anti-freeze!! Home Depot has worked with her vet, the supplier, etal to ascertain that the *fake snow* is trulythe COD. Apparently only 300 of these trees were shipped across Canada, but lets get the news out.




Please be carefull with your Xmas décor and pets. Hollyberry and mistletoe are deadly to animals. Tinsel is particularly attractive to cats and can be very problematic. Dangling ornaments in paw swipe make wonderfull toys. Don';t leave wrapped Xmas presents under tree that contain food or you suspect contain food.






Nuts and Candies in covered bowls - or better still - not left out unattended at all.


Also the water container for your tree is Not a good source for your pets to drink from......


Have a safe holiday all.
