Top Holiday Pet Hazards To Avoid

More on PawNation: All Pets, Cats, Dogs, Holiday Safety, Kittens, Lifestyle, Puppies, Safety

    1. Flowers and plants

    Poinsettias get the bad rap, but the plant you actually need to worry about is the fragrant lily (such as tiger, Asiatic, and Stargazer), which is commonly found in holiday arrangements and is highly toxic to cats.

    RELATED: The Best Type of Diet for Your Pet

    Just one chewed leaf can result in severe, acute kidney failure. Yuletide plants (like holly and mistletoe) can easily be mistaken for food, resulting in gastrointestinal upset and even heart arrhythmia. Silk and plastic arrangements are your safest bets; if you prefer real flowers, however, choose bouquets made of nonirritating choices such as roses, marigolds, orchids, or daisies.

Bought large femur bones for my huskies. One broke a molar tooth and had to have a root canal and filing. FYI, also some of the rawhide, bone replacements can really tear up their gums. You can tell by blood being on the bone or chew.

You never give animals raw chicken bones or pork bones. They will get worms. Do what?

I get my dogs bones from the meat market. Usually a cow leg cut into three parts. Never had a problem . You just need them big enough. Definetly no pig ears, chicken or pork bones , period.

Ok so here they are saying what lethal for dogs and cats but take pictures with the ''dangerous'' toy or food? That makes no sense. I hope its photoshopped. But even if photoshopped still wrong and contracdictory. Because even if done by professionals and under supervision its going against what they are trying to warn you about and teach. So at the end it would be pure bullshit.

As a vet tech I can't tell you how many dogs die choking on bones. Terrible slow death.
