The holidays are a time of joy, giving, and family, and it’s no surprise that many people consider giving pets as Christmas presents. A fluffy kitten or an adorable puppy under the tree may seem like the perfect gift—but for many animals, this well-meaning gesture can lead to heartbreak, neglect, and even death.
During the holiday season, many pet parents plan to include their furry companions in the festivities and it’s important to try to keep our pets' eating and exercise habits as close to their normal routine as possible. Please be sure to steer pets clear of the following unhealthy treats, toxic plants and dangerous decorations.
