The holidays are here!\u00a0 Even though this year it may be a little different from other years it\u2019s still an exciting time for children and adults alike. Many families are decorating their homes just that bit extra, but holiday decorations and other seasonal trimmings can be hazardous to our dogs. Are you aware of what is safe and what could be dangerous for your pup? We\u2019ve put together a list of potential holiday hazards for dogs, so that you can all enjoy the season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Toxic foods<\/b><\/p>\n

Chocolate, grapes, raisins, onions and macadamia nuts all tend to be consumed that bit more during the holidays. All of these foods are poisonous for dogs, so should be well out of reach of your pup.\u00a0 Another item to add that out-of-reach list is xylitol, a sugar-free sweetener found in candy and sugar-free food. Again, this is extremely poisonous to pups, so don\u2019t leave foods containing xylitol within licking distance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What about other festive food? As delicious as the aroma of roasting meats is to your dog, it\u2019s really better if he is given his regular food. Rich foods can cause pancreatitis in dogs so are best avoided. A small amount of cooked turkey might go down well, but make sure there are no bones in there as these are likely to splinter, potentially affecting internal organs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Poisonous plants<\/b><\/p>\n

Many of us add more seasonal plants to our homes during the holidays in the form of poinsettias, holly and mistletoe. The traditional decorative plants of holly and mistletoe when ingested are very dangerous for dogs and poinsettia\u2019s are likely to leave them feeling pretty poorly too. More items to keep well out of reach.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Decorations<\/b><\/p>\n

Your Christmas tree (and all of its decorations) poses a danger to your dog. So it\u2019s important to keep a close eye on him if he\u2019s near the tree. Christmas trees can be knocked over and should be secured and weighted down. Glass decorations should be hung on higher branches to ensure that Fido can\u2019t reach them. Don\u2019t let your pup drink the water in the tree holder, as it can cause gastrointestinal problems.<\/span><\/p>\n

We wish you and your pup a wonderful and hazard-free holiday season!<\/span><\/p>\n
