Dogs and Christmas Holidays Seasons

Christmas is around the corner. You have your christmas tree up and all those decorative items around. All set for Christmas holiday seasons.

Well just a reminder to those who have dogs which likes to bite at anything. It is very dangerous for them.

Decorative items like tinsels, ornament cause can cause choking. The electrical cords are hazards to dogs. Chewing the cord can result in serious electric shock and burns.

Chocolate are favorites for all young or old. But it is a no no for dogs. Poisoning of dogs by chocolate is not as uncommon as you might think.

Chocolate contains theobromine which increases urination and affects the central nervous system as well as heart muscle. The amounts vary by type of chocolate.

Keep your dogs indoors during cold weather. If you really have to keep them outside, then at least keep them protected from the elements. The wind-chill can still kill. There are heating pads and raised dog beds that can be purchased to make your dog more comfortable.
