⚠️WARNING ⚠️
FAKE SNOW IS POISONOUS TO PETS - please ensure your Christmas decorations are safe for your pets most products with fake snow are poisonous .

Fake snow Chrismas tree can be really dangerous if your pet ingests any.
Although cats climbing trees is one of the most common accidents we see around this time of year, this isn’t the only way trees can do damage! It's not just the fake snow that is dangerous. The oils in fir trees can be mildly toxic, which will cause an upset tummy if swallowed. The needles from tree can get stuck in your pets mouth, throat and paws

To avoid issues hoover or sweep regularly and don't leave your pet alone with the tree.
You can also look out for Nordmann Fir trees which are known as the ‘no needle drop’ trees and are a safer alternative.

🐱 Consider using the same calming spray that we use in our wards , pet remedy 🐾 (Available in our cat waiting area!)
