The most common types of Christmas trees are not highly toxic to pets, however, some common Christmassy plants can be!
These can include, poinsettias, holly, ivy, mistletoe and lillies (which can be fatal to cats), so it's always better to be cautious with these plants around your furry friends.

The safest toy options include durable rubber toys, certain rope toys and some stuffed toys with no small, detachable parts. Always choose toys appropriate for your dog's size and chewing style, and supervise them to prevent choking or ingestion
of small parts. You can find all our top tips on on how to have a pet safe festive period here:

If you are visiting friends or family and staying for any length of time, it’s always wise to find out first whether your dog will be welcome.
Ask if there will be any other dogs or cats there and also whether there will be any small children. Only take your dog if you know you can keep them safe in someone else’s house.

If chewed, electric wires can cause burns or even electrocution. Even just exploring new wires during play can cause accidents if they are pulled.
If you need extra wires for lights or decorations, make sure any cables are kept hidden or out of reach of curious pets to avoid them getting caught up in them.

When walking your dog in cold weather, limit walk duration, especially for smaller dogs, and watch for shivering or whining, as they can get cold and frostbitten.
You can protect your dog with a coat and booties, by trimming paw fur and always rinsing paws after walks to remove salt or ice.

Pets should always be supervised around decorations. If chewed or swallowed, foreign objects can cause damage to the intestines or even a life-threatening
obstruction. Cats in particular are often drawn to tinsel; though this can be extremely dangerous if swallowed.

We are sure our furry friends would think festive food is delicious, but their tummies might not! A lot of the food we indulge in around Christmas is highly toxic and dangerous to our pets.
Always double check food is safe before giving it to your pet. If they have eaten something they shouldn’t, they can usually be given an injection to induce vomiting, provided it is within four hours of ingestion. Fast action can be enough to avoid toxicity, so if you are concerned about something your pet has eaten, please do give us a call!
