HOLIDAY HAZARDS

Bones - Turkey, chicken and other small animal bones are very different from the large bones you find at the pet store. These can cause serious internal damage if swallowed, so NEVER give them to your pet.
Hot Containers - Your dog or cat will most likely become very curious when they smell something cooking. Keep an eye on hot containers so that your pet does not tip them over, causing sever burns. |
Balloons and Confetti - These are common items used to decorate, but can be extremely hazardous to your pet if ingested. Do not leave pets unattended when they are around these items.
Loud Noises - Often frighten pets and can cause them to run off. Keep them in a separate room away from noises that could startle them. |

Flowers - Many types of flowers and plants that are found in bouquets are harmful to dogs and cats.

Alcohol - Alcoholic beverages are toxic and should never be given to your pet.

Fake Grass - This may look appetizing to your pet - but if ingested can cause digestive problems resulting in surgery
Small toys and other plastic items - If swallowed they can cause your pet to choke or even damage their internal organs. |
