Thank you for helping us keep everything running smoothly so every pet stays safe, healthy and comfortable this Christmas ❤️🐾

🎄 Day 10 of our 12 risks of Christmas – What’s in the Kitchen Can Hurt Pets!

As we get closer to the big day, the kitchen gets busier — and so do the hidden dangers for our pets! A lot of classic Christmas ingredients are toxic to cats and dogs, even in small amounts.

🧅 Onions, Garlic, Leeks & Shallots
-All part of the allium family.
-Can cause damage to red blood cells, leading to anemia.
-Found in stuffing, gravy, sausage meat, roast veggies, and seasoning mixes.
Pets don’t need to eat much for it to be harmful — even powdered forms count!

🍞 Stuffing
Usually contains onion or garlic, high salt, butter, and sometimes sausage meat.
Delicious for us, dangerous for pets.

🧂 Seasonings & Salt
Christmas food is much saltier than everyday meals.
Too much salt can cause vomiting, tremors, or worse.

🐖 Fatty Meats & Trimmings
Turkey skin, pork crackling, gravy and pan fats can trigger pancreatitis.
Even a “tiny treat” can cause a painful vet trip.

🍗 Bones
Cooked bones can splinter and cause choking or internal damage.
Never give Christmas leftovers with bones.

🎁 Other Common Christmas Kitchen Dangers
Alcohol (even in sauces or desserts)
Uncooked dough (yeast rises in the stomach)
Herbs like sage (okay in tiny amounts but often mixed with harmful ingredients)
Cranberry sauces with added sugar or alcohol

Time is of the essence, if you believe your pet has ingested something toxic, think S.P.E.E.D.- contact your vet immediately.

🎄 Day 9 of 12 Christmas Risks – Decorations 🎄
Tinsel, string, ribbons, stockings, gift bags… all the fun-looking things that pets absolutely shouldn’t eat!

A lot of Christmas decorations might seem harmless, but they can cause serious problems if swallowed:

✨ String, ribbons, tinsel & garlands
These can travel through the intestines like a “saw”, causing painful blockages that often need surgery. Cats especially LOVE to play with (and eat!) stringy things.

🧦 Stockings & fabric bits
Chewed-up stockings, Santa hats, soft toys or knitted decorations can cause choking or gut blockages.

🎁 Silica gel packets
Those little “DO NOT EAT” sachets pets always seem to find. They can cause choking or stomach upset — and pets often swallow the whole packet.

🪅 Baubles & ornaments
Plastic ones can splinter, and glass ones can shatter and cut paws, mouths, and tummies if eaten.

🧵 Hooks, ties & wire
Sharp bits that can pierce the mouth, tongue, or stomach.

A good rule:
If it dangles, sparkles, rustles, or rolls… your pet thinks it’s theirs.
Keep decorations out of reach, secure your tree, and keep an eye on the little troublemakers this festive season.

🎄 Day 8 of 12 Christmas Risks – Chocolate 🎄

The big one. The obvious one.
Chocolate is toxic to both dogs and cats — and Christmas is basically a house made of the stuff.

🍫 Why it’s dangerous:
Chocolate contains theobromine, which pets can’t break down. The darker the chocolate, the more toxic it is.

🍫 What it can cause:
-Vomiting & diarrhoea
-Fast heart rate
-Tremors
-Seizures
-Can be life-threatening in higher amounts

🍫 Christmas danger zones:
-Tree chocolates
-Advent calendars
-Selection boxes
-Gift bags
-Chocolate coins
-Brownies, yule logs, desserts

Pets are masters at sniffing this out, so keep chocolate completely out of reach and call your vet ASAP if any is eaten — even if you’re not sure how much.

Keep the choc for the humans, not the paws! 🐾❤️

🎄 12 Days of Christmas Risks – Day 7: Macadamia Nuts (and Other Nuts!) 🎄
Festive snack bowls are everywhere this time of year, and while nuts might be great for humans, they’re not safe for our pets.

⚠️ Macadamia nuts are especially dangerous for dogs — even a small amount can cause:
-Weakness or wobbliness
-Tremors
-Vomiting
-High temperature
-Difficulty walking

🐾 But it’s not just macadamias:
All nuts are best avoided for both dogs and cats.
They can cause tummy upset, choking, pancreatitis (from high fat), and some nuts (like walnuts) can grow toxic moulds.

🥜 Common Christmas sources:
-Mixed nut bowls
-Chocolate-covered nuts
-Nut-filled biscuits and desserts
-Trail mixes
-Gift hampers

🚨 If your pet eats any nuts:
Call your vet for advice — reactions can vary, and some nuts are more dangerous than others.

🎄 12 Days of Christmas Risks – Day 6: Dried Fruits 🎄

(Raisins, Sultanas, Currants, Grapes, Mince Pies & Christmas Pudding)

Lots of festive treats are packed with dried fruits — but even a small amount of raisins, sultanas, currants or grapes can be toxic to dogs and cats. This includes classics like mince pies, Christmas pudding, fruit cake, and snack mixes.
⚠️ Why it’s a risk:
Grapes and all dried fruit forms can cause sudden kidney failure in pets.
The toxic dose is unpredictable — some pets react to just one raisin.

🍇 Common Christmas sources:
-Mince pies
-Christmas pudding
-Fruit cake
-Stollen
-Festive snack bowls or dropped treats

🐶 Symptoms to watch for:
-Vomiting
-Diarrhoea
-Lethargy
-Drinking/urinating more or less than usual
Not wanting to eat

🚨 If your pet eats any amount:
Contact your vet immediately — don’t wait for symptoms.
Keep dried-fruit treats well out of reach, especially when guests are around or food is left cooling on the side.

🎄 Day 5 of our 12 risks of Christmas countdown: Batteries 🎄

Christmas means lots of new toys, flashing decorations and gadgets, and that also means lots of loose or discarded batteries. Pets are often tempted to chew them, especially small button batteries that fall out of packaging or toys.

⚠️ Why batteries are dangerous:
If chewed or swallowed, batteries can cause:
• Chemical burns to the mouth and tongue
• Drooling, pawing at the mouth, vomiting
• Serious internal damage if the battery leaks or gets lodged
• Button batteries can cause tissue damage within minutes

🛑 Keep pets safe:
• Keep spare and used batteries somewhere secure
• Check toys and decorations for loose battery compartments
• Pick up dropped batteries or packaging immediately
• If your pet chews or swallows a battery, contact your vet straight away

🎄 12 Dangers of Christmas – Day 4: Xylitol 🎄
Today’s Risk: Hidden Sweeteners in Festive Treats

With Christmas comes a mountain of sweets, cakes and “sugar-free” treats – and that means a higher risk of xylitol poisoning in pets. Xylitol is a common sweetener found in many festive foods, and even tiny amounts can be extremely dangerous to dogs.

🍬 Why it’s around at Christmas:
• Sugar-free sweets, mints & chewing gum
• Sugar-free baking (brownies, cookies, cakes)
• Advent calendar treats
• Stocking fillers
• Flavoured medicines or syrups
• Some peanut butters used for stuffing toys
• Guests leaving gum in bags or coat pockets

⚠️ Why it’s dangerous:
Xylitol causes a rapid drop in blood sugar (hypoglycaemia) and can lead to:
• Weakness or collapse
• Vomiting
• Tremors
• Seizures
• Liver failure (even hours after ingestion)

🛑 Keep pets safe:
• Check labels before sharing any human food
• Keep handbags, coats & shopping bags well out of reach
• Remind guests not to leave gum or mints lying around
• Choose pet-safe Christmas treats only
• Call your vet immediately if you suspect ingestion – xylitol acts fast

A quick phone call can save a life.

🎄 12 Dangers of Christmas – Day 3: Mouldy Food 🎄
Today’s Risk: Mouldy Food & Why It’s More Common at Christmas

With all the festive cooking, leftovers and overflowing bins, mouldy food is one of the hidden Christmas hazards for pets. It’s easy for animals to sniff out forgotten leftovers, food recycling, or that “just popped outside” bin bag!

🍞 Why it’s around at Christmas:
• Extra food waste from parties & big meals
• Leftovers sitting out longer than usual
• Overfilled bins or recycling boxes
• Forgotten buffet plates in spare rooms or garages
• Bread, desserts or veg going stale quicker in warm kitchens

⚠️ Why it’s dangerous:
Some moulds produce tremorgenic mycotoxins, which can cause:
• Tremors
• Seizures
• Vomiting
• Wobbliness
• Panting or restlessness
• In severe cases, life-threatening illness

Dogs are especially quick to raid bins, but cats can be affected too.

🛑 Keep pets safe:
• Keep bin lids secure
• Clear away food waste promptly
• Store leftovers safely out of reach
• Don’t leave plates in bedrooms or spare rooms
• Keep outdoor bins shut tightly

If you think your pet has eaten mouldy food, contact your vet immediately – symptoms can appear fast.
