Helpful Hints For The Holiday Season…

Fasten the Christmas tree to a wall or secure it another way to prevent your hound from knocking it over.

Keep the Menorah where your pet cannot knock it over.

Hang breakables, tinsel and other tempting decorations well out of paw's reach.

Make sure your pet doesn't play with or chew electrical cords.

Place holiday plants out of pet's reach. Many seasonal plants are poisonous, including mistletoe, holly and poinsettias.

Some chemicals that extend the life of trees are poisonous. Cover the treated area with a section of window screen.

Don't share any candy with your pets, especially chocolate. Candy is toxic for animals and can make them very ill.

Avoid toys with small parts or those made of soft materials that pets can chew and swallow.

Don't put edibles in hanging stockings (especially if they're by the fire.)

Better stocking stuffers are; license tags, collars, leashes, beds and bowls.
