Keep your pets safe this festive season ☃️

🎄Keep chocolates, decorations, fairy lights and presents out of reach of your pet. Electric cables and broken baubles can cause serious injury. The liquid in snow globes is also highly toxic!
🎄Be aware of Christmas foods and plants that are poisonous to your pet - like the classic poinsettia and chocolate.
🎄Avoid tinsel, especially with cats, they will be tempted to play with this and may eat it which can cause blockages and make them very ill
🎄Keep that turkey dinner for the two legged family members. Meat bones can cause blockages and rich foods they are not used to can cause digestive issues.

Wishing you and your pets a very safe and merry festive season! 🎅
