When the holiday season is coming in, you’d probably put up all sorts of decorations to keep up with the festive cheer. Here are some things you should take note of when planning how to decorate your home:
● Some plants can lead to drooling, oral irritation, or gastrointestinal problems. Flowers like lilies, pine needles, amaryllis bulbs, and the famous European mistletoe should be avoided. You could consider poinsettias, which are not toxic to your pets.
● Burning candles could be knocked over and cause a house fire.
● Liquid potpourri is toxic to feline pets.
● Christmas trees should be properly set up and anchored so it doesn’t get knocked over and cause a dangerous mess of broken decorations.
● Strings, ribbons, and tinsels might be ingested and be a cause of obstruction for your pet.
● Batteries contain toxic materials that might be swallowed by your pet. Keep those away from them.
Any sign of an illness exhibited by your pet should be brought to the attention of your veterinarian Bellaire, TX.
