| :::::::christmas Safety Tips For Pets:::::: :::::::CHRISTMAS SAFETY TIPS FOR PETS:::::: Be sure to make this holiday season safe and enjoyable for everyone in your family by observing the following dog safety tips: Dogs and Christmas Trees If you have a live Christmas tree, keep the water stand covered. Pine sap mixed with water makes a poisonous drink for your pet. The smell of a live or artificial tree may cause your pet to urine-mark it. It may help to bring the tree into an isolated indoor room for a day or two, so that it smells more like "home."Secure Christmas trees to a wall or ceiling hook with sturdy fishing line. This will help prevent the tree from toppling over should your dog jump on it or accidentally knock it over. Dogs and Christmas Ornaments Pick up any ornament hooks, tinsel, or ribbon that fall on the floor. Your pet could experience serious internal injuries if any of these items are ingested. If you have a dog or cat that is tempted to play with the ornaments on your tree, decorate the bottom third of the tree with non-breakable, plastic, or wooden ornaments, or decorate only the top two-thirds of your tree. Make sure that your dog has plenty of dog toys. Dogs and Holiday Treats: Be Extra CarefulKeep holiday treats and candies out of your dog's reach. Additionally, remember to move out of reach any wrapped gifts under your tree that may contain food items. People food, especially in excess, can make your dog sick. Chocolate, onions, raisins, and alcohol can be fatal to dogs! Only feed your dog healthy dog treats. Dogs and Holiday Lights If you have indoor holiday lights, be sure they don't hang so low that your dog could become entangled in them. Remember to unplug the lights when you're not home to supervise your dog. Pets and Candles: Safety First. If you have a bird, make sure it is safely in its cage if you're lighting anycandles. Additionally, lit candles should be kept out of any dog's reach should your dog jump on it or accidentally knock it over to the floor or god forbid on itself you could avoid a fire or a seriouly burned puppy/dog !!!! Dogs and Holiday Flowers and Plants Poinsettias, mistletoe berries, and other popular holiday flowers can cause serious stomach upset for pets. Check with your veterinarian or local poison control center to find out what holiday plants and flowers you need to keep out of your dog's reach. Holiday Dress: Dress up your Yorkie for holiday parties and New Years eve . and make sure you post there cute pic for all of YT to see ! Have a HAppy & Safe Holiday Season |
