Christmas trees, lights and other holiday decorations can also pose a risk to your pets, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association. Several veterinarians shared tips on pet safety.
Among the potential hazards are tinsel on trees, as well as ribbons and string used for wrapping packages. The hustle and bustle of the holidays can also make pets feel stressed and overwhelmed. Amy McGorry is a contributing health writer for Fox News Digital. Follow her on Twitter @amymcgorry.
"Cats start playing with it, and unfortunately they eat the ribbon or tinsel and actually get an intestinal blockage," Dr. Jean Oberg, director of the veterinary technology program at Long Island University in Brookville, New York, told Fox News Digital in an interview.
