Pet-proof decorations Fasten the Christmas tree to a wall or secure it another way to prevent your cat or dog from knocking it over. Keep the Menorah where your pet cannot knock it over. Hang breakables, tinsel, and other tempting decorations well out of paw's reach. Tinsel, ribbon, and ornaments are especially dangerous to pets if they chew or swallow them. Place holiday plants out of pet's reach.
Many seasonal plants are poisonous, including mistletoe, holly, and poinsettias.
Some chemicals that extend the life of trees are poisonous. Cover the treated area with a section of window screen. Treats to eat Don't share any candy with your pets, especially chocolate. Candy is toxic for animals and can cause vomiting, restlessness, heart disturbances, and even death. Tell your children not to share their candy with the family pet.
