Adding some holiday greenery to your decor this year? Plants can spruce things up, however some of them can also be dangerous for pets and require extra care if you have a pet that might see them as a snack. If your pet ingests any of these holiday plants, call your vet or Pet Poison Helpline.

P.S. If you're curious about Christmas trees 👀 ... they can cause intestinal blockage if the needles are ingested. Live trees are also sometimes treated with chemicals that can cause toxicity if chewed on.

‼️Pet owners‼️ With fire weather in effect, it’s crucial to have an evacuation plan for your animals. Prepare an emergency kit with essentials like food, water, medications and leashes. Make sure your pets are microchipped and wearing collars with up-to-date identification. If there is a fire, evacuate early and take your pets with you — never leave them behind. In case you can’t reach your pets during an emergency, a window decal can alert first responders that animals are inside and need help. Request a free decal at sdhumane.org/decal.

For detailed emergency preparedness checklists for both household pets and large animals, visit sdhumane.org/disasterprep.
