Foods that are edible for people, such as onions, garlic, grapes, and raisins, are toxic to pets. Be sure to clear tables and counters promptly and secure the trash so your pets can\u2019t sneak a snack.\u00a0<\/span><\/div><\/li>\n \t<li>\n<div><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\"><b>Bones: <\/b>If you\u2019re ever unsure about sharing bones with your dog, it\u2019s best to err on the side of caution.

Keep plants well out of reach or opt for pet-safe alternatives.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Christmas trees:<\/strong>\u00a0Trees can tip over if climbed or bumped. Securing your tree to a wall, ceiling, or door frame with fishing line can help prevent accidents.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Candles:<\/strong>\u00a0Flickering flames can be fascinating to pets. Never leave your cat or dog unattended in a room with lit candles, and consider flameless options for added peace of mind.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Ornaments:<\/strong>\u00a0Broken ornaments can cause cuts, and swallowed ornaments can lead to intestinal blockages or toxicity. Keep fragile decorations and homemade ornaments, especially salt-dough or food-based ones, safely out of reach.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<br>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0.5em;
