Good Afternoon, Friends,

With more decorations and often more food and drinks around the house, it’s important to keep an eye out for potential pet hazards: 

🎄 Christmas Tree Water: Christmas Tree water can become stagnant and a breeding ground for bacteria if not changed regularly, and they can be harmful to the health of a thirsty pet. 
🪴 Holiday Plants: Plants such as Poinsettias, Mistletoe, or Holly may be appealing to a curious dog. But, they can irritate your pet’s mouth and stomach and cause drooling, vomiting, diarrhea, and decreased appetite.
🎁 Ribbons, Bows, and Tinsel: Gifts wrapped with ribbon and string look irresistible to pets because they resemble easy-to-catch prey, but they can cause serious stomach and intestinal damage. 
🥨 Salt-Dough Ornaments: If you’re making salt-dough ornaments or homemade play dough, make sure to hang them well out of your pets’ reach. They contain a great deal of salt, which can be fatal to pets if ingested. According to the FDA, a 10-pound pet can get sick after eating just ½ teaspoon of table salt, and 1 ½ teaspoons of salt can be fatal.
🍲 Fatty Foods: Watch your trash can and be thoughtful about what table scraps you offer your pet, because foods that are high in fat, such as fat trimmings from meat or skin from a roasted turkey or chicken, can easily cause upset stomach and potentially life-threatening pancreatitis.
🍻 Alcohol: Pets and alcohol don’t mix. The most common symptoms from ingestion are vomiting, diarrhea, incoordination, weakness, decreased activity, difficulty breathing, and shaking. In severe cases, coma and death from respiratory failure (cessation of lung function) can occur.
🚨 If your pet needs urgent help, call the Pet Poison Helpline at 855-764-7661 or ASPCA Animal Poison Control at 888-426-4435. A fee may apply. Keep your veterinarian’s number handy and know the location of your nearest emergency veterinary clinic. The sooner you get help, the better the chances your furry, feathered, or scaled family can recover!
