I spent Saturday with my dad, chopping down our Christmas tree and getting it up and decorated. The moment the tree was in the house, my animals were all over it. And that reminded me of some good holiday pet safety precautions… so here you go, I hope they help to keep your pets safe!!

1. Keep holiday plants out of reach from your pets as many are poisonous – like holly, poinsettias and lilies.
2. Secure your tree to a wall so that climbing pets don’t knock down your tree (this almost happened to me on Saturday!)
3. Don’t feed your pets meat bones – many will damage their stomachs.
4. Look out for wrapping ribbon – cats like to play & eat them and the ribbon can do serious damage to their insides.
5. Cover the water in your tree base – it may have pesticides from the tree and could make your pet sick!
