HOLIDAY DANGERS TO WATCH FOR WITH PETS
Tinsel, while not toxic is dangerous to pets. Once consumed it can cause serious injury to your pet if not caught in time. Ingestion can actually be fatal and it can twist and bunch in the intestines. Seek veterinary help immediately.
2. Holiday lights and candles
Do you have a pet who likes to chew? Lights and cords can cause tongue lacerations and possible death. Your pet could be electrocuted! Check cords and lights regularly to ensure safety.
Candles should be placed in hard to reach spots. They can cause burning for pets and a fire hazard for you.
3. Gift wrap and ribbon
As tempted as you may be to fashion a collar of ribbon for your pet, this is not a wise idea, your dog could chew and swallow his or her new collar, this can lead to choking as well as intestinal problems, if this should occur please call a veterinarian immediately. It is best to dispose of discarded ribbon and paper immediately following use. Pet stores sell proper holiday collars for your furry friends that are safe and festive for this holiday season.
Hi there. I’m Grace. I am a very hard working, compassionate and strong willed woman who loves a challenge and never backs down from a hard days work, which is a good mix for working with dogs that are having trouble getting along in the world with us humans! The greatest reward I get in life is when someone tells me I saved the life of their dog so they didn’t have to give it up! I love nothing more then showing people how to be a leader in their own world and all aspects of life! I am a leader, and walk my own path in life and I’ll go where ever it takes me!
