Every time we see a Nativity scene at Christmas, animals are always present. Nowadays, families with pets often want to make sure they are included at holiday time too. However, many don’t realize Christmas can be a dangerous time for pets. Damage or accidents caused by pets could also result in a claim on your home insurance. Orlando FL residents can keep a few simple tips in mind to help make sure every family member is safe at Christmas.
The Christmas tree is a major hazard and temptation for curious pets:
• Sharp pine needles can get stuck in vulnerable paws.
• Flashing lights can be a source of fascination and shortly afterwards electrocution.
• Anything that dangles enticingly can quickly have a small animal hanging from it, which may be cute – until the tree topples over.
Food treats should always be appropriate for pets:
• Chocolate may be a treat for us but it can poison your pet.
• Cooked chicken or turkey bones can splinter and damage your pet’s internal organs.
• Leftovers should be avoided – at Christmas they can consist of quite rich foods which may cause your pet to either vomit or have an upset tummy.
A final hazard to consider is the possible impact of loud noises. Sudden bangs and pops as crackers are pulled and the champagne is opened can cause your pet to panic. This may lead to damage or breakage and a costly repair or a claim on your home insurance. Orlando FL residents might avoid this unnecessary extra expense by keeping these pet pointers in mind. Merry Christmas – to all your family!
