10 Ways to Keep Your Furbabies Safe During the Holidays - Axel Roze Pets

The holiday season is a time of joy, love, and celebration, but it can also bring hidden dangers for our beloved pets. With all the decorations, treats, and hustle and bustle, it’s essential to prioritize your furbabies’ safety. At Axel Roze Pets, we know your furry friends are part of the family, so here are 10 tips to keep them safe and happy this holiday season.

1. Watch Out for Dangerous Decorations

Sparkling ornaments and shiny tinsel might catch your pet’s eye, but they can pose serious risks. Avoid using tinsel, which can be swallowed, and keep breakable ornaments high on the tree. Secure the tree to prevent accidental tipping if your curious pet decides to investigate!

2. Keep Cords Out of Reach

Twinkling holiday lights can be tempting for pets to chew, leading to electrical hazards. Use cord protectors or keep cords hidden to ensure your furbabies don’t get a shocking surprise.

3. Choose Pet-Safe Plants

Festive plants like poinsettias, holly, and mistletoe are toxic to pets if ingested. Opt for pet-friendly alternatives like artificial plants or keep these out of reach.

4. Secure the Sweets

Chocolate, candy, and desserts are staples of the holiday season but can be harmful to your pets. Store all treats in pet-proof containers and remind guests not to share table scraps with your furry family members.

5. Create a Calm Space

The holidays often mean more visitors and noise. Provide a quiet, cozy space where your pets can retreat if they feel overwhelmed by the festivities.

6. Mind the Holiday Feasts

Turkey bones, rich foods, and certain spices can upset your pet’s stomach or cause choking hazards. Stick to pet-safe treats!

7. Keep Candles Out of Reach

Candles can easily be knocked over by an excited wagging tail or a curious paw. Consider flameless candles to keep your home festive and safe.

8. Monitor Gift Wrapping Supplies

Ribbon, string, and wrapping paper scraps can be choking hazards. Keep your gift-wrapping area tidy and dispose of leftover materials promptly.

9. Watch the Door

With guests coming and going, it’s easy for a pet to slip out unnoticed. Use baby gates or keep them in a separate room during busy times to prevent escapes.

10. Stay Up-to-Date on ID Tags

Make sure your pet’s ID tags and microchip information are current, just in case they wander off during the holiday commotion.
