Happy Holidays, friends! It’s the most wonderful time of the year, but did you know that it’s also a dangerous time for pets if we don’t do everything we can to protect them from the hazards of the season? It’s true!
Do you know how to keep your pet safe among all the decorations, food, and hustle and bustle of the busy holidays? Take a peek at these 12 pet safety tips for Christmas, and then we’ll chat some more below.
As you can see, there are definitely a lot of ways that our furry friends can get into trouble during the holidays, but being aware of the dangers and planning in advance can make a huge difference and even save lives. It only takes a moment to protect your pet.
And it bears repeating: it’s never a good idea to give a pet as a holiday gift. The holidays are a busy, stressful time, and that’s never a good situation to bring a pet into a new home. Wait until after the chaos settles down, and then consider adding a furry new family member to your pack.
Your turn: do you have any tips or tricks for keeping pets safe during the holiday season? I’d love for you to share them in a comment below!

August 7, 2017 at 3:21 pmHi Christina, great information! I wanted to let you know about a quick and easy way to decorate a pet safe tree. It is fun to make pet safe paper ornaments with the children, there is now a paper ornament hook on the market. It is new and just being introduced this year at SoftHooks.com. Check it out! Thank you!

December 20, 2017 at 11:53 amThat’s a great list of tips but they should have put snow globes on there. I just did a post explaining that most snow globes contain ethylene glycol or anti-freeze, which can made your dog or cat very sick.
