Holiday Decorations That Could Be Dangerous to Pets

Know Your Decorations To Save Pet Lives

New York Post says holiday plants like mistletoe, poinsettias, and lilies are toxic if ingested by pets. If ingested, pets will usually start drooling and running to the bathroom. Mistletoe berries can be deadly. Dr Carol Osborne says the berries can cause immediate heart attacks in dogs. Vets warn that amaryllis, balsam, pine, cedar, and holly are also harmful to pets.
