🌲 Keeping Your Tree Dog Friendly 🌲

The holiday season brings joy and excitement, but it is essential that our furry friends stay safe amidst the festive decorations. With their twinkling lights and enticing ornaments, Christmas trees can pose potential hazards to curious dogs.

Pet owners must be aware of numerous risks, from electrical cords to sharp ornaments. By taking a few simple precautions, we can create a safe and enjoyable holiday environment for our canine companions.

Sit & Stay Pro Tip — Deck The Halls In Dog Safe Fashion

Decorating for Christmas can be a joyful experience, but it's important to prioritize your dog's safety. It’s easy to forget how quickly a beautiful bauble can become a dangerous choking hazard. Although humans love their holiday decor, a lot of it just isn’t safe around dogs — especially curious ones.

Here are some simple ways to stay festive with more emphasis on your pup’s health and safety.

• Shatterproof Ornaments: Use shatterproof ornaments to avoid injuries from broken glass or pointed corners.

• Avoid Tinsel: Tinsel can be a serious hazard for dogs, as it can cause intestinal blockages if ingested.

• Secure Electrical Cords: Use cord covers or tape cords to the floor to prevent chewing or accidental shocks.

• Out-of-Reach Decorations: Place fragile or valuable decorations out of your dog's reach to prevent damage or accidental ingestion.

• Non-Toxic Plants: Be cautious with holiday plants like poinsettias and mistletoe, as they can be toxic to dogs. Opt for artificial plants or pet-safe alternatives.

• Beware of Water in Vases: Keep an eye on water levels in vases, as curious dogs may be tempted to drink the water, which could lead to water intoxication.

• Pick Up Fallen Pine Needles: Pine needles aren’t poisonous to dogs. However, they can cause myriad issues like gastrointestinal distress and blockages.

Vet Recommendation — Choose Certain Pine Trees

Coniferous trees with pliable or bendable needles, including Douglas fir, White pine, and Fraser fir, present a lower risk of gastrointestinal irritation, choking, or intestinal perforation if ingested. However, the oils emitted by these trees and their fallen needles may still pose health risks.
