⭐PET SAFETY TIPS⭐
🎄Ornaments: Keep breakable and food-based ornaments out of reach to prevent injuries and blockages. Tinsel & Ribbons: These tempting decorations can cause choking or blockages if swallowed. Christmas Trees: Secure your tree to prevent tipping from curious climbers! Lights & Cords: Chewed cords can lead to burns—keep cords out of reach. Candles: Never leave pets alone around lit candles. Holiday Plants: Poinsettias, mistletoe, and more can be toxic to pets. Check the ASPCA’s list for pet-safe plants.🎄

Enjoy the holidays safely with your pets!

⭐HOLIDAY PET SAFETY TIPS⭐
1. Holiday gift shopping for your pets? Make sure to choose safe toys! Look for durable, non-toxic materials, avoid small parts that could be swallowed, and pick the right size to prevent choking. Plush toys should have reinforced stitching, and if your pet loves to chew, opt for toys designed specifically for tough play. Giving safe toys means happy, healthy holiday fun for all!

2. Keep your holidays merry and safe with these pet-friendly tips! Nothing ruins holiday cheer like an emergency vet visit, so stay mindful of potential risks for your furry friends.
Keep people food out of reach, and ask guests to do the same

· Watch out for treats with toxic ingredients like chocolate, xylitol, grapes, onions, or raisins.

· Don’t leave pets alone with lit candles, a decorated tree, or potpourri.

· Place holiday plants (holly, mistletoe, lilies) safely out of reach.

· Skip the tinsel if you have cats—it’s safer!

· Secure your Christmas tree, and try lemon-scented air fresheners to keep cats away.

· Provide a calm retreat for pets if the holiday hustle gets overwhelming.

⭐🎄With these tips, you and your pets can enjoy a joyful and safe holiday season!⭐🎄

3. Keep your pets safe this holiday season! Holiday plants, lights, and decorations add festive cheer but can also pose risks for our furry friends:
