⚠️ Holiday Hazards: Keep Your Pets Safe This Christmas! 🎄
The festive season is full of joy, but it also comes with hidden dangers for our furry friends. As a vet, I see far too many preventable emergencies around this time of year. Let’s keep your pets happy and healthy!
🐾 Toxic Foods: Chocolate, grapes/raisins, and fatty foods can make your pet seriously ill. Keep treats out of reach!
🐾 Decorations: Tinsel, ribbons, and ornaments can cause life-threatening blockages if swallowed. Go for pet-safe decor.
🐾 Plants: Mistletoe, holly, and lilies are poisonous to pets. Keep them away or choose safer options.
🐾 Electrical Cords: Chewing wires can lead to burns or electrocution. Secure and cover cords.
🐾 Candles/Fire: Open flames are a burn and fire hazard. Use flameless candles instead.
Let’s make this holiday season safe and cozy for everyone—including your pets! 🐶🐱
