Holiday safety
Keep your dog safe this Christmas
The season brings new foods, plants, and decorations into the house. A few simple habits go a long way.
1
Keep chocolate out of reach
Chocolate is dangerous for dogs, and darker chocolate is worse. Keep candy dishes, baking, and wrapped chocolate gifts up high and off the floor.
2
Skip the tinsel
Tinsel and ribbon can block a dog's digestive tract if swallowed. Decorate with lights and sturdy ornaments instead.
3
Mind the holiday plants
Mistletoe and holly can cause stomach upset and other problems if eaten, and poinsettias can irritate. Lilies in holiday bouquets are highly toxic to cats, so keep them out of any home with pets.
4
Watch the holiday table
Fatty foods, cooked bones, onions, garlic, grapes and raisins, and anything sweetened with xylitol can make dogs very sick. Keep their diet the same as any other day.
5
Secure the tree and its water
Anchor the tree so it can't tip, and cover the stand. Tree water can grow bacteria that upset a dog's stomach.
6
Hide wires and batteries
Chewed cords can shock, punctured batteries can burn, and broken glass ornaments can cut mouths and paws.
7
Never leave candles alone
A happy wagging tail can knock a candle over in a second. Keep flames high or use flameless candles.
8
Give them a quiet room
Guests, music, and poppers can be a lot. Set up a calm space with water, a bed, and a favorite toy.
If you think your dog has eaten something harmful, call your veterinarian right away, or ASPCA Animal Poison Control at (888) 426-4435 (available 24/7; a consultation fee may apply).
