Happy December and Happy Holidays! Middlesex Pet Friends for Life (MPFL) is wishing you and your furry friends the best the season has to offer.
We’re all busy preparing for the holiday celebrations and MPFL hopes everyone is careful and aware of some of the pitfalls we might encounter. Keep in mind the dangers that some of our traditions could present to our furry friends.
The list of things to be cautious about can be voluminous but some things to watch for this season are:
- Poinsettias
- Amaryllis
- Paper whites
- Candles
- Holiday tree and water
- Tinsel
- De-icing salts
For a more comprehensive list, go to ASPCA Poison Control. If you see signs of toxic ingestion, call your veterinarian immediately or the ASPCA Poison Control Center at 1-888-426-4435.
Happy Holidays. Stay safe.
