The holidays bring cheer, color, food and so much more to many, but if you’re not careful, they can also bring headaches – or worse – when it comes to your pets. Elements of holiday decorating, like ornaments, ribbons, greenery and wreaths, can be tempting for pets to play with and eat, posing as potential choking and intestinal blockage hazards. Other potential safety hazards include electric lights, candles and certain types of plants. On this archived episode of Animal Airwaves Live, Dr. Jake Wolf, an emergency and critical care specialist, addresses some of the most common issues seen by veterinarians this time of year and ways pet owners can keep fur babies off the naughty list and safely to deck the halls – and not the vet – this holiday season.
