I would say that there are hazards with a tree real or fake but primarily with the decorations. The water from a real tree could pose an additional hazard though, when trees are shipped out of state they are often required to have some notable chemical treatments, also many people include bleach in their tree water. We get a real tree every year, tree farming is an important part of oregons agriculture. Lilah has never messed with our decorations or tried to drink the water (but it is typically recessed in the stand) but as I write that, and it is true, I am realizing how weird that is. She is not a rascal at all and I guess j am just very lucky. I suppose perhaps scritching through the base of piny needle covered branches just never seemed like the thing to do in her eyes, lol.
