Presents and gift wrap

Unwrapping presents is exciting, but clear up as you go – pets love to play with packaging, but if swallowed, it could make them very ill. Be careful with batteries – you wouldn’t think a pet would eat them, but it happens!

Beat stress

All the excitement and bustle of Christmas can be scary for a pet who doesn’t understand what’s going on. Keep an eye open to see they aren’t getting stressed, and make sure they have a safe place where they can relax and be comfortable.

No alcohol!
