PLEASE PET PROOF YOUR CHRISTMAS TREE
It's tempting to get carried away with holiday trimmings but please remember, SAFETY FIRST!
-- Tinsel is out - it's shiny, it's chewy - it's a cat magnet!
-- Shiny glass ornaments spell disaster. Decorate with unbreakable materials. Stay away from edible ornaments as well.
-- Secure your tree stand. Invest in a large, sturdy one. Attach fishing line to the treetop and then fasten the other end to a small hook in the ceiling.
-- If your pets are "chewers," keep them out of the room with the tree, or make sure you're with them at all times.
-- Always unplug your lights when they are not in use.
If you have a live tree - Cover the water bowl with mesh and secure it with duct tape. You can still refill the bowl but pets can't drink the sticky water. They'll stay healthy and you'll stay happy. Clean up fallen needles daily. Sharp needles can cause internal injuries if eaten.
May you and all your four-footed friends have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
