🎄'Tis the season for holiday decorating. Here are tips for keeping your pets safe and to avoid a very un-festive trip to the veterinarian this season. Make sure your tree is well secured. Breakable ornaments, dreidels, tinsel, string, and ribbon should be kept out of reach. 1/5

How often should you clean your pet's bowls? And is washing in the dishwasher sufficient? https://t.co/Qh19npd4y7

Do not give your pet any human pain medication unless directed to do so by your veterinarian as certain human medications are toxic to pets and can make them feel worse.

Protect pets from hazardous wildfire smoke. Keeps pets & sensitive birds indoors with closed windows. Limit exercise & time outdoors. Monitor for signs of smoke irritation. @oregonvma
