The stocking might be hung by the chimney, and the holiday lights shining bright, but some decorations could be dangerous for your pets this holiday season. Lidia Vesterfelt with Michigan Humane stopped by “Live in the D” to share helpful information to keep your pets safe.
“Cats especially are the ones that are going to want to play with the sparkly stuff,” Vesterfelt said. She said in order to prevent a visit to the Vet, keep the following tips in mind for all pets.
- Keep pets away from pine needles and standing Christmas tree water.
