🎄 ❄️ Happy Holidays SAH family!! ☃️ 🎅

So for Thanksgiving we talked about all of the food do’s and don’ts such as chocolate, alcohol, garlic, onions ect. to make sure to keep your pets safe this Holiday season, with Christmas right around the corner, we thought it would be a good idea to mention some Christmas hazards you may or may not think about to make sure that you and your pets can enjoy the holiday season with minimal vet visits. ;)

We all love our Christmas decor and hanging it to Mariah Carrey’s All I Want For Christmas (extra festive), but some of our favorite holiday decorations may not be the best thing to have in reach of our sneaky pets. Safety tip: Secure Christmas trees around cats and dogs prone to zoomies to prevent tipping

-🚫Tinsel and Ribbons: Cats LOVE these, but they also love to cause potential life threatening intestinal blockages, so make sure they are out of reach of our pointy eared friends and some dogs too!

-🚫Ornaments: Broken glass can cut paws and mouths, so make sure to keep glass ornaments higher up on the tree and out of your pets reach!

-🚫Mistletoe and Holly: Berries and leaves are poisonous to pets.

-🚫Candles- open flames are a fire/burn risk (My fluffy cat set his tail on fire once! It was traumatic for us both!)

-🚫Electrical cords: Chewing can cause burns or electrocution.

-🚫Tree Water: For people who have real trees, tree water can contain harmful bacteria or preservatives

-🚫Batteries: swallowing them can cause internal burns

-🚫Poinsettias and Amaryllis are both toxic to pets and Lillies are also toxic and can cause kidney failure

❗️If your pet gets ahold of anything you’re not sure about, give us a call! We hope everyone has a very merry holiday season!‼️

❤️🤍💙 Axl Rose would like to remind everyone that it’s about to be FIREWORK SEASON!! 🎆
Fireworks are beautiful and fun for some, but they can be very scary for some of our furry friends. If you are needing any anxiety medications or Stress Away chews, give us a call today so that you are ready! 417-889-0090
Also remember to keep a close eye on your pets while enjoying your festivities, animals can often get scared and take off during the chaos and there are also soooo many edible and non edible things your pets can eat that would not be good for their tummies!
Everyone be safe and have a happy 4th!! ❤️🤍💙
