It is a common scene after Thanksgiving: the stringing of lights and the decking of halls\u2026 But, like other holidays, if you share your home with a cherished pet, you\u2019d better keep a keen eye on your fur buddy around the bedazzling display of holiday d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n<h3><b><i>On the Tree<\/i><\/b><\/h3>\n<p>The ideal way to protect your pet from the perils of the Christmas tree is to simply keep your four-legged friend away from the tree unless you or a family member are present. If that\u2019s impossible, keep lower branches somewhat bare or opt for unbreakable, large ornaments at your pet\u2019s level.<\/p>\n<p>No one likes to deal with a downed tree after a rowdy game of chase (we suggest anchoring it), or a favorite ornament lying broken on the floor (a tempting toy for your feline), there are a few decorations that can create real emergencies for our pets.<!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Tinsel \u2013<\/strong> Foil tinsel (and other icicle types of garland) is the number one offender when it comes to holiday decorations. What appears as a wonderfully shiny (edible) object to your pet (your cat, in particular) can cause severe damage to your pet\u2019s intestinal tract and result in emergency abdominal surgery. Better safe than sorry \u2013 get rid of all string, tinsel, or other thread-like Christmas tree garland.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Edible ornaments and advent calendars \u2013<\/strong> Need we say more? Your dog\u2019s nose can pick up the scent of something <i>miles<\/i> away. If you don\u2019t want your dog to eat it, keep it out of his or her reach.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Breakable ornaments \u2013<\/strong> Oh, how our kitties love to bat around those shiny hanging orbs from the branches of the decorated tree. Glass and other fragile ornaments are quite lovely, but are an avoidable risk to your pet so keep them out of reach.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Ornament hooks<\/b> &#8211; consider ribbon or fishing twine rather than hooks to keep them out of eyes, mouths and paws.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Finally, keep in mind that your pets don\u2019t understand the concept of \u201cfamily heirloom\u201d. If you\u2019ve got irreplaceable holiday ornaments, be sure to hang them somewhere that your pets won\u2019t get into, and \u00a0exercise patience and understanding if an accident does occur.<\/p>\n<h3><b><i>Under the Tree<\/i><\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Many of us like to display gifts under the tree in advance of being opened. Of course, we must also be prepared to have the corners and paper chewed on by a curious pooch or kitty. The same rule applies: avoid letting your pet have full rein unless supervised.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Curly string for gift wrapping \u2013<\/strong> Like tinsel, this is cat kryptonite. Before bringing gifts home from the office or other holiday party, remove any ribbons, string, or foil and keep your own presents minimally wrapped in paper only, or opt for a wide ribbon or beautiful fabric as a ribbon alternative.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Tree water \u2013<\/strong> Since your pets will naturally want to take a sip from the Christmas tree water (if you have a real tree), forego the preservative chemicals, as they can make your pet extremely ill.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Edible gifts \u00a0\u2013<\/strong> Don\u2019t assume because the gift is wrapped, your dog won\u2019t smell chocolate or other edible items. Keep these off of the ground and stowed away until they can be opened.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b><i>Around the Home<\/i><\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Now that you\u2019ve secured the tree and the gifts, take a moment to check the rest of your home for hidden dangers, such as cords and light strings that can be accessed by a nibbler. Make sure the decorations listed below are either out of your pet\u2019s reach and used to decorate rooms that are off limits to your pets.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Holly and mistletoe \u2013<\/strong> Poinsettias, holly, mistletoe, and even pine needles from the tree can present toxicity emergencies. Choose faux foliage when it comes to these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspca.org\/pet-care\/animal-poison-control\/toxic-and-non-toxic-plants\">poisonous plants<\/a>, or select other non-toxic, yet lovely, varieties. A chew-repellent spray can help keep kitty from chewing on live or artificial tree needles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Candles \u2013<\/strong> Open flames can singe whiskers and burn tails \u2013 and can even create a house fire. Stick to battery powered candles this season, which provide the same ambience without the risk, or keep real candles out of reach.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Electrical cords<\/b> \u2013 Light strands and electrical cords are especially hazardous to pets who like to chew, such as house rabbits, ferrets, and other small mammals. Secure loose cords and wires up high or with protective plastic tubing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We hope you find these tips to be useful as you prepare to spread some festive cheer around your home and hearth. \u00a0And, for more seasonal pet-safety tips, we encourage you to read our blog on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ovrs.com\/blog\/holiday-pet-safety-party-animals\/\">pet safety and holiday parties<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Happy holiday decorating!December Holiday Decoration DON\u2019Ts \u2013 What Every Pet Parent Should Know<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, now that Halloween has come and gone and the turkey and gravy have been feasted upon, it\u2019s time to break out those boxes in the garage and decorate!
