10 Christmas Decorations That Are Safe For Your Dogs

Most Christmas decorations pose a health risk to dogs. Here are 10 options that don’t.

Achira

This plant is a great alternative to the toxic Amaryllis, with big red flowers, a wide stem and stalks, and big leaves.

Autumn Olive

Also known as the Silver Berry or Russian Olive, this red-berried plant is a great option instead of the seasonal but toxic Holly.

Blue Spruce

This is a type of Christmas tree that doesn’t shed a ton of needles, unlike common Christmas trees.

Christmas Cactus

Instead of Mistletoe, which is toxic to dogs, this plant’s dainty red flowers and rich green leaves are a preferable option.

Dunhill Fir

Yet another Christmas tree alternative, this artificial tree is an extremely popular decoration choice.

Electric Candles

Candles are lovely, but they’re a fire hazard that any dog could knock over. Electric candles provide the aesthetic without the risk.

Red Roses

Sure, they’re not traditional, but you can use them instead of Poinsettias, which have harmful sap.

Tabletop Christmas Tree

These classic trees go on tables, away from the prying paws of a dog.

White Orchids

Most orchids are toxic for dogs, but not white orchids! They’re a good alternative for lilies, which are toxic.

Wrapping Paper That Is Pet-Friendly

A lot of wrapping paper, which swallowed by a dog, can cause obstruction, and the ink used can be toxic. Pet-friendly wrapping paper is a great option instead.
