Detroit, Michigan News Releases

(Detroit.CityRegions.Com, November 29, 2015 ) Taylor, MI -- The holiday season can be treacherous for pets but if pet owners are aware of the common safety hazards, their pets will have a safe holiday.
Here are common hazards to avoid over the holidays: • Ingesting holly or mistletoe can cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Mistletoe can also cause cardiovascular problems. And many varieties of lilies can cause kidney failure in cats if ingested. • Snow globes often contain antifreeze, which is poisonous to pets. • Pine needles, when ingested, can puncture holes in a pet's intestine. • The extra cords and plugs of holiday lights and other fixtures can look like chew toys to pets and should be taped or covered to avoid shocks, burns or other serious injuries. • The water around the Christmas tree may contain fertilizers, and stagnant tree water can harbor bacteria. • Pets, particularly cats, can be tempted to eat tinsel, which can block the intestines. Tinsel should be hung securely out of the reach of pets. • Ornaments should also be kept out of reach of pets. Even ornaments made from dried food can lead to ailments. Shards from broken glass ornaments can injure paws, mouths and other parts of the body. • Candles are best kept on high shelves. Using fireplace screens will avoid burns.
For pet owners who want their dogs to look festive this holiday, Grama's Kitchen offers a Christmas design adjustable Pet Collar at a 33.5% discount from Amazon for a limited time and while supplies last. The holiday collar is made of durable red nylon with a red ribbon overlay in a tree, snowflake and reindeer pattern.
