Christmas Safety

 To help keep you and your dog's Christmas wonderful and bright...

Keep all decorations, ornaments, ribbons, yarn, and wrapping paper out of your dog’s reach.

Angel hair and tinsel are also extremely dangerous if eaten, and can also cause external cuts and scrapes especially to the mouth, eyes, and nose.

Stockings filled with food may be eaten as well as the stocking!

Gifts of food under the tree.

Toothpicks can get stuck in his throat or puncture internal organs.

Poisonous Christmas plants: holly, mistletoe, ivy, Christmas cactus, and poinsettias.

Pine sap mixed with water makes a poisonous drink.

Be careful opening your front door when greeting guests and also with delivery people so your dog doesn’t dash out.

Chocolate, onions, raisins, and alcohol can be fatal to dogs, as well as high fat table scraps

Merry Christmas to all and to all a safe night!
