20 Christmas Decorations That Are Extremely Dangerous For Your Dogs

Christmas is a wonderful time of the year! Celebrations are in the air, love is in the air, gifts and what not. But there are some Christmas decorations that are extremely dangerous for your dogs.

Here are 20 Christmas decorations that are toxic to your dogs and how they damage your dog’s health:

1. Amaryllis. This plant is toxic and can lead to issues such as stomach trouble, tremors, and lethargy.
2. Angel Hair. This old material is basically fiberglass, which has a fair share of bad effects.
3. Candles. Lit candles pose a fire hazard.
4. Christmas Lights. Dogs may chew at the wires.
5. Christmas Rose. It can cause gastrointestinal problems.
6. Christmas Tree. Dogs can eat the needles or topple the tree.
7. Christmas Tree Preservatives. A dog who drinks tree water suffers consequences from the preservatives used for the tree.
8. Edible Ornaments. Candy canes and sugary treats may be eaten by a dog.
9. English Ivy. This vine is dangerous to ingest and may cause allergic reactions.
10. Glass Ornaments. These may fall and break, causing injuries.
11. Holly. Even a little is toxic.
12. Imitation Snow. The chemicals in these can be toxic.
13. Mistletoe. This plant is packed with deadly toxins!
14. Ornament Hangers. The wires used to hang ornaments can be dangerous to a dog who eats them.
15. Poinsettia. This plant can induce stomach irritation.
16. Popcorn Strands. The string on these can be very attractive to dogs, and eating them would be dangerous.
17. Potpourri. The essential oils used – and the potpourri in general – can be toxic.
18. Snow Globes. Many snow globes contain antifreeze, which is deadly to dogs.
19. Tinsel. Tinsel can be dangerous to ingest.
