Protecting Your Pets From Holiday Hazards--Part Two
Dr. Helen Halligan provides these tips:
Foods and Plants That Harm

• Never give bones to your pets. They can splinter and endanger their lives. Put any meat bones in a closed plastic bag and dispose of them outside.
  
• Ham and other meats may come packaged with string. If swallowed string ca cause serious problems. Dispose of it with the bones.
  
• Don't feed pets holiday goodies or leftovers, and make sure they can't get at candies and snacks.
  
• Some holiday plants--such as holly, lilies and mistletoe--are toxic to pets, so be sure they're always out of reach.
  

Oh, Christmas Tree

• Use Christmas tree decorations wisely. Decorate the bottom third of the tree with nonbreakable plastic or wooden ornaments. Better yet: Place a barrier around the tree.
  
• Cover electric cords. Or try coating them with bitter-apple spray, which pets don't like.
  
• For live trees, keep the water stand covered or use a pet-proof container-- the water may contain fertilizers or bacteria.
  
• Safely secure trees to a wall or the ceiling to prevent them from toppling on playful pets.
  

Hope these helpful hints keep your pets safe during Christmas!! Happy Savings!!!!
