In particular, pine needles from real Christmas trees can lead to a blockage of the intestines and\/or throat if ingested by a cat or dog. And we don\u2019t have to tell you how lovely a real Christmas tree smells, so no wonder an animal would be interested in it!<\/p>\n<p>However, just because your pet didn\u2019t consume pine needles doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re out of the woods (no pun intended). Pine needles on the floor can actually become trapped in a cat or dog\u2019s paws, and we can only imagine how painful this would be! Our recommendation? Opt for a fake Christmas tree instead of a real one, as your pet will probably not be interested in it. If you can\u2019t bear to forgo your real tree, then be as diligent as possible about vacuuming loose pine needles, and keep your pet away from the tree. Better yet, place it in a room that your pet won\u2019t even enter![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;6338&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][vc_column_text]Now, on to poinsettias. We know they\u2019re gorgeous and festive, but they\u2019re downright toxic to dogs and cats due to a milky white sap that contains chemicals and detergents. If your dog or cat ingests any part of this plant, you\u2019ll likely see vomiting, drooling, and other symptoms. While these plants are not extremely poisonous, you don\u2019t want to cause any harm to your beloved pets. Just keep them out of your home. If you must have one, place it on a high surface that a cat couldn\u2019t even access!<\/p>\n<p>We hate to burst your bubble even more, but holly and mistletoe have similar effects as poinsettias. We know, we know \u2013 this really puts a damper on the holiday season! Just treat these plants as you would <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doggroomingcourse.com\/2017\/10\/11-foods-keep-away-pets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">any other toxic food<\/a> for pets, and you\u2019ll keep them out of harm\u2019s way.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Be_mindful_of_whats_on_the_tree%E2%80%A6\"><\/span>2.

As you should! However, if you have pets in your home, you\u2019ll need to rethink your strategy slightly. The lights on your tree contain cords and hot bulbs, both of which are hazardous to dogs and cats alike. When placing lights on your tree, leave the lower branches bare, as low-hanging items are the perfect opportunity for animals to get tangled up in wires, or even chew on cords. If you can, secure electrical cords and outlets so pets cannot access them at all.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;6339&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][vc_column_text]Shiny and stringy tinsel is simply not pet-friendly &#8211; it attracts pets and can cause serious problems if ingested. Choose a thicker garland to wrap around your tree instead. There aren\u2019t many rules around ornaments, but we caution against placing any on the lower branches for the same reason you\u2019d avoid lights in that area \u2013 don\u2019t give pets a chance to access any potentially edible or breakable decorations. And this goes without saying, but avoid placing any food ornaments on the tree &#8211; this is just asking for trouble!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_%E2%80%A6and_underneath_the_tree\"><\/span>3. \u2026and underneath the tree<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Wrapping gifts and placing them under the tree is one of the best parts of the holidays, and not knowing what\u2019s in those boxes is even more exciting! However, you\u2019re not the only one who is curious about what\u2019s in those packages \u2013 your pet will try to sniff out each wrapped gift, and this could end badly. While this is a tricky situation to maneuver, you need to be careful. If Grandma Hazel drops off a few wrapped gifts at your door and you don\u2019t know what\u2019s inside them, refrain from placing them under the tree until it\u2019s time to open them. You never know \u2013 those boxes could be filled with chocolates, which are toxic for cats and dogs!<\/p>\n<p>Also, don\u2019t forget about holiday stockings filled with treats! Hanging them by the chimney with care isn\u2019t safe enough \u2013 make sure they\u2019re completely out of reach of your pets.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Give_them_a_safe_space\"><\/span>4.
