🎅🏼 Christmas is a time of joy and celebration, but it can also pose some unexpected dangers to our canine partners.
⚠️ According to the Blue Cross charity, some of the common Christmas hazards for dogs include toxic foods, seasonal plants, and decorations.
For instance, chocolate 🍫 , grapes 🍇 , onions 🧅 , and alcohol 🍷 are toxic to dogs and should be kept well out of their reach.
Pine needles from Christmas trees 🎄 can cause mild stomach upsets or blockages if ingested.
🪴Mistletoe, poinsettia, and holly are also toxic to dogs, so it’s best to avoid them when decorating.
❤️ However, with a bit of planning and following some simple tips, you can keep your dog safe and happy during the festive season.
✨ We recommend keeping your dog’s routine as normal as possible, providing a quiet and safe space for them to retreat to, and avoiding loud noises and flashing lights.
