Are your pets safe from holiday decorations?

It's the season for Christmas decorations, time to be festive! But what if our decorations could harm
our furry friends and we didn’t even know? 

 

If you'd like to know which festive plants can harm your cats please keep reading! 

A common holiday plant is the poinsettia. This beautiful flower has dark leaves and vibrantly colored
petals. Pionsettias aren't deadly to pets, but cause a stomach ache and diarrhea if your kitty eats
or licks them!

 

Then there's the Christmas tree! If you get a live tree for Christmas, pay attention to exactly
what kind of tree you you get!  Pine trees can cause liver damage in your furry friend or
even threaten his/her life. If you want a live tree makes sure its a fir or spruce!  Much safer choices.

Mistletoe and holly are other dangerous Christmas favorites. Even a little bite of either one can
give your cat a stomach ache. Ingesting large amounts can causes life-threatening heart problems!
