Keep an eye on your guests to make sure they don’t inadvertently give your pet access to alcoholic beverages, plates of food or other potentially harmful items. “Also, if possible, opt for artificial plant décor or make sure it’s out of your pet’s reach. Some popular Christmas decorations, such as mistletoe and holly, can cause gastrointestinal and cardiovascular problems,” Dr. Mocklin said. Country Club Veterinary Clinic is a full-service small animal and exotic pet clinic. Call (337) 478-2823 for more information or visit countryclubvet.com.
