Christmas is almost here. It's that time of year when we fill our homes with lights, colors and decorations that brighten our days. But did you know that those pretty ornaments can be a danger to your pets? Don't worry. In this video by an animal expert, we're going to tell you which Christmas ornaments are the most dangerous for your furry friends, and most importantly, how to keep them safe so that you can all enjoy a happy and peaceful holiday season. If you live with a cat, you know that they can't resist climbing to the highest places. So a Christmas tree full of hanging decorations is like an amusement park for them. They love shiny objects that move because they awaken their hunting and play instincts. On the other hand, dogs also love interacting with ornaments, especially with baubles, if they usually play with balls. The problem is that although this can be fun for them, Christmas ornaments can also be dangerous. Now we'll tell you what the most common risks are and how to avoid them. If you want to learn how to stop your cat from knocking over the Christmas tree, don't miss the video we shared in the card above. Christmas lights, with their brightness and flickering, are super eye catching for dogs and cats. To them, they seem like toys that they want to play with. But be careful because they can chew on the cables or pull on the bulbs, which can be very dangerous for them. The solution is simple. Put them where they can't reach them and unplug them whenever you're not using them. This way you'll avoid accidents and everyone can enjoy the holidays in peace. Christmas baubles are also irresistible to pets. For dogs, they're like shiny balls that they want to chew on or play with. But here's the problem. Many are made of glass or plastic, and if they break, they can be very dangerous. What can you do? Use ornaments made of safer materials such as felt or cotton. Although if your dog tends to chew and swallow these objects, it's best to place them in the highest parts of the tree out of reach. Swallowing any object can cause intestinal obstruction, so be very careful. All this also applies to cats, as they can suffer the same consequences. Tinsel is a magnet for cats. For them, it's like hanging toys on the tree. And for dogs, its shape and texture remind them of string toys. If they chew on it or pull on the tree, it can be dangerous as they could choke or even poison themselves. It can also cause the tree to fall on them. For all these reasons, it's best to avoid it. And if you decide to use it, put it in a place where they can't reach it. That way, everyone will be safe. Candles add a magical touch to Christmas, but if you have pets at home, they can be very dangerous, either because your dog or cat gets too close and gets burned or because they accidentally knock over the candle. In any case, it can cause serious accidents, even fires. It's best not to leave a candle burning unattended. Did you know that some Christmas plants, such as poinsettias, holly or mistletoe, are toxic to dogs and cats? If they ingest them, they can cause problems such as vomiting or diarrhea. It's best to keep these plants out of their reach or if you prefer, use artificial versions for peace of mind. If you want more information about Christmas plants that are dangerous for your pets, check out the video we shared with you in the card. Use physical barriers such as strategically placed furniture or pet doors. Train your dog with positive reinforcement to avoid accidents. Use natural repellents such as citrus fruits, aluminum foil or tape to keep animals away from certain areas. Protect electrical cords with special covers. And finally, look for pet friendly decorations made of materials that are safe for them. Decorating for Christmas is great, but don't forget to keep your furry friends safe. Happy holidays and take good care of yourselves. Until next time, Experts.
