Gay Advent Christmas Countdown



Christmas Safety Tips for your Pets!

*
Remember that plants (holly, mistletoe, poinsettia, lilies, Christmas rose, etc,) are poisonous to pets.
*
Pine needles can create problems if ingested.
*
Unsecured Christmas trees pose hazards to climbing critters as they can topple or be knocked over.
*
Don't forget to prevent the ingestion of Christmas tree water since stagnant water or preservatives can be toxic.
*
Other holiday hazards include menorahs, candles and liquid potpourri pots.
*
Fire and burns are not the only threats to pets and the household. Scented items can also be harmful--especially to birds.
*
The ingestion of inappropriate foods, tinsel, ribbons or garlands can cause sickness or obstruction.
*
Breakable items such as glass and other ornaments pose a threat.
*
Electrical cords, heated decorative bulbs, hooks, and a wide variety of other adornment items create temptations. Use topical pet deterrents and barriers for protection.
*
Keep décor items out of reach of your pet or in places your animals cannot get to them.
*
Nicotine poses a threat. Keep it out of reach.
*
Keep trash lids on tight. Chewed aluminum foil and e-coili are risks to pets.
*
Store food in secure containers out of reach to prevent ingestion or poisoning.

Lets keep our kids safe.
