The holiday season is a joyous time for family and friends, but certain things people enjoy so much this time of year can be dangerous for pets.
The SPCA of Texas recommends these tips to make your pets’ holiday season fun and safe: Be aware of decorations. Pets may be enticed by sparkling ornaments or shiny tinsel, so keep decorations out of reach of curious pets.
Some decorations may be harmful if ingested and cause health problems like intestinal blockages. Keep the water in your Christmas tree stand covered.
Tree water is often infested with fertilizer, bacteria and other harmful elements. Make sure candles and other unprotected flames are not within your pets’ reach.
