Food and treats: Keep pets on familiar diets; avoid fatty, richly spiced and toxic foods (chocolate, grapes/raisins, onions, xylitol, alcohol).  

Decorations & plants: Secure trees so they don't tip; keep wires, batteries, tinsel, glass ornaments out of reach; be aware that holiday plants (mistletoe, holly, lilies, poinsettias) can be toxic.  

Household traffic & stress: Visitors, other pets, and new schedules can stress animals-provide them a quiet retreat/space.  

Fire & electrical hazards: Candles, lights, tree water, and heated items can pose risk to pets.  

Trash & unexpected ingestion: Holiday wrappers, foil, wire ties, breakable ornaments, and snow-globe fluid can all be dangerous. Keep them away from your pets or supervise them to avoid accidents. 

Travel & guest pets: If traveling or hosting, ensure pets are secured safely, have up-to-date ID/microchip, and know the "safe zone" when guests bring pets.
