Due to their curiosity and playful nature, Christmas trees can pose risks to pets. Cats may climb and topple them, risking injury and ornament breakage. Dogs might chew on branches or decorations. To mitigate these risks, secure the tree firmly in a sturdy base. Avoid placing it near furniture that pets can use to climb. Consider using a pet barrier or placing the tree in a less accessible area. Additionally, opt for pet-safe decorations and avoid using tinsel or small, breakable ornaments that can be ingested. Regular supervision is also vital in ensuring pet safety around Christmas trees.
