Holiday Hazards: Protecting Pets From Festive Dangers – AM 1390 KRFO
With three cats (a toddler, an adult, and a senior) plus a senior dog, all living together with my sons and me, I always try to think about how I can decorate for the holidays, enjoy baking and meals, and celebrate with presents in a way that won’t harm any of them during the festive season.
This year, I thought I’d dig in a little deeper and share some things you may not have considered as dangers for your pets. Here is a list of things that can harm your pet that you should plan around this and every holiday season, as well as any other time of year.
Even though that green bean casserole might be part of a “healthy” holiday meal at home, it is definitely NOT something you should share with your pets.

Amazon Puppy Essentials
Everything you need for your new puppy in one place. From crates and beds to food bowls and training pads, Amazon has all the essentials at great prices with fast shipping.
Even if your dish is based around green beans or sweet potatoes (which by themselves can be okay for dogs) these dishes typically contain garlic and onion (both toxic to dogs), plus butter, oil, and creams. None of these should be fed to your dog, not even on a holiday.
Even if you’ve heard otherwise, your pet should never be given beer or other alcoholic drinks. You might think it’s cute to give them a holiday sip, but it can cause low blood pressure, low body temperature, low blood sugar, tremors, seizures, coma, and even death, according to PetMD.
