The festive season during the winter months can always come with risks or hazards to our beloved pets, such as those related to food, ornaments, as well as other indoor hazards. We'd touched on some of these below, particularly food and indoor hazards.
Food
The festive season during the winter months usually comes with a lot of merrymaking and gift-giving. These include drinking a lot of alcohol with friends and old relatives as well as eating and giving foods such as chocolates. You should know by now that alcohol and chocolates are known to be toxic to many pets and your pets can come in contact or eat them if you aren't keeping them on your tight watch during this festive season.
Indoor Hazards
Ornaments and decorations such as those including poinsettias are quite popular, but they can bring about stomach issues or even irritate the eyes. Watch out for other plants such as amaryllis, rhododendron, chrysanthemum, and holly and mistletoe.
