You’ve probably heard that poinsettias can harm pets if eaten...
The truth is, a human or animal would have to eat a LOT for it to be a problem, which isn’t likely because they taste awful. Here are some other decorations that really could pose a hazard:
• Snow globes: If broken, the glass could obviously be an issue – but so could the liquid. It sometimes contains antifreeze which pets ARE attracted to.
• Pine needles: If ingested, they could pose a puncture hazard to the intestines.
• The Christmas tree: Make sure it’s anchored and secure if you’ve got curious pets.
• Don’t let them drink the tree water – it could contain fertilizer or harbor bacteria. Don’t use aspirin in the water either – that could be deadly if they drink it.
• Skip the tinsel – cats are especially attracted to it and it can cause major intestinal problems.
