KEEPING decorations and food out of your pet's reach is the way to keep them safe at home this Christmas.

Best friends; they can have a great time over the festive period if you keep them safe.

The Scottish SPCA is reminding people that presents, decorations and festive food – all things that humans enjoy – can be deadly if eaten by pets.

Scottish SPCA animal behaviourist, Claire Haynes, has lots of advice to help you prepare your pets for the festive season.

Claire says: “Common ingredients like onion, garlic, and even dried fruit and raisins, often found in mince pies and Christmas puddings, can be potentially dangerous, and even fatal, to dogs and cats if eaten. Xylitol in sugar-free products can also be deadly.

“Seasonal decorations like tinsel and baubles and plants such as poinsettias, mistletoe, and holly can all be toxic to our animals.

Christmas can be fun for your pets too, just make it a safe one.

“Pet owners should also watch out for leftover turkey bones as they can puncture and splinter if ingested. Keep them out of reach and put them in the outside bins.

“If you are worried about your pet this Christmas, or they have injured themselves or ingested something potentially toxic, please contact your vet immediately. Take any packaging with you to your vet so they can see exactly what they have eaten.

Make sure Christmas is a happy time for your pets.

And Claire added: “Christmas can be the most wonderful time of the year but not if you end up with a poorly pet. Being vigilant and taking precautions is all that is needed to keep your pets happy and healthy over the festive period.
