Holiday Pet Safety Tips

The holidays are a wonderful time to celebrate with loved ones, but it can be a stressful and dangerous time for your family pet. Now that the holidays are upon us, The Pet Nanny would like to offer the following tips to help keep your pets safe. *Hang breakables, tinsel, and other tempting decorations well out of paw’s reach. Tinsel, ribbon, and ornaments are especially dangerous to pets if chewed and swallowed. *Place holiday plants out of pet’s reach. Some seasonal plants can be poisonous, including mistletoe, holly berries, and poinsettias. *Watch out for electrical cords. Pets, especially puppies, often try to chew them and may get badly burned, shocked or electrocuted. Make sure your strands of lights; loose wires and extension cords are out of reach. *Metal ornament hooks can get caught in curious mouths. Use ribbon or yarn instead of hooks to hang your ornaments. *Christmas tree should stand on a flat, wide base. You may also want to anchor the tree with fishing line tied to a drapery rod, a ceiling or wall hook. Cats often see trees as excellent climbing posts. Whether your tree is live or artificial, both kinds of needles are indigestible. *Cover your tree stand tightly with skirting. The water from the tree base can cause mouth sores, vomiting, diarrhea, and loss of appetite. *Refrain from using edible ornaments on your tree. They can pose an irresistible temptation for some pets *If you plan to entertain, provide a "safe haven" to which your pets can retreat when they get overly excited and there is a possibility of escape. *Put away toys after children open their gifts. Small plastic pieces and rubber balls are common causes of choking and intestinal blockage in dogs. Ingested plastic or cloth toys must often be removed surgically. *Do not let guests feed your pets human food. There are many holiday foods, including fatty meats, gravies, poultry skin, bones, chocolate and alcohol, that can cause illnesses from vomiting and diarrhea to highly serious pancreatitis and other toxic reactions. In addition, candy wrappers, aluminum foil pieces and ribbons can choke pets. While your pet is safe in a loving home, remember those less fortunate. Millions of pets, nationwide, will be homeless this holiday season. Visit your local shelter and bring home some holiday cheer. If you think that your furry little one has ingested materials that may be harmful, please make the call that can make a difference: ASPCA (888) 426-4435.
