RANCHO SANTA FE (KUSI) – The chill in the air, along with the current restrictions on gatherings involving friends and extended family, means our beloved pets will serve an important need this winter season.
Helen Woodward Animal Center reminds the community to keep pets safe this season and to consider making holiday gift purchases that will and save lives too.
PET-HOLIDAY SAFETY TIPS:
• Holiday Decorations can pose a problem for pets curious about new items in the house. Each winter, veterinarians report an alarming number of cats ingesting shiny holiday décor such as tinsel and ribbon which may cause intestinal blockage and require surgery. Christmas ornaments and cords from Christmas lights also pose a severe chewing and electrocution hazard to family dogs and cats.
