One of the best ways to <\/span>get into the <\/span>holiday spirit, is to d<\/span>ecorate <\/span>for the occasion<\/span>. <\/span>As beautiful as th<\/span>e <\/span>festive atmosphere may be, it\u2019s also important to remember tha<\/span>t<\/span> <\/span>dogs <\/span>might not get along with these changes. <\/span>Our treasured holiday <\/span>d\u00e9cor <\/span>many<\/span> <\/span>are not<\/span> <\/span>the <\/span>safe<\/span>st<\/span> <\/span>for our pups. <\/span>B<\/span>efore <\/span>we<\/span> decide to dig up that old bin of <\/span>holiday <\/span>decorations, <\/span>there are a few things you need to keep in mind<\/span>.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What should I look out for? <\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Does your <\/span>dog <\/span>like <\/span>to eat things found on the floor? Do they<\/span> <\/span>chew on <\/span>things like <\/span>extension cords or <\/span>cables<\/span>? How many times have they ripped up<\/span> items that are not toys? For our dogs, <\/span>bright new things <\/span>are<\/span> the holy gra<\/span>i<\/span>l of <\/span>a fun time. With so many <\/span>shiny <\/span>lights, moving objects, and <\/span>fuzzy<\/span> new d\u00e9cor everywhere, can you blame them? <\/span>Understand that have a dog is just like having a kid. Be smart and prepare for their <\/span>wellbeing<\/span>. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What holiday items should I pay extra attention to? <\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Holiday <\/span><\/b>Trees<\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Your holiday tree is the center piece of <\/span>all<\/span> your <\/span>home. <\/span>Unfortunately, they\u2019re also not entirely <\/span>dog friendly<\/span>. <\/span>If you think your holiday tree smells great, just imagine how they smell to your pups. Your dog<\/span>\u2019<\/span>s<\/span> nose <\/span>smells 40x greater than ours. <\/span>Making that holiday tree the biggest temptation your dog must face all year. <\/span>If you haven\u2019t already, consider buying an artificial tree instead of using the real thing. <\/span>This will help in several ways. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
