Puppy Proof your Christmas Tree

There was a real boom in puppy sales during the Coronavirus pandemic and for many dogs this will be their first Christmas. Josh Lyle, boss of Christmas tree supplier Pines and Needles, has shared his top tips to keep your Christmas tree - and your pooch - safe.. Height - If you have a young puppy or a very excitable dog, consider getting a smaller tree and placing it on a side table. If you really want to keep your bigger tree, secure it to the wall using hooks. Start Naked- Before you decorate your Christmas tree, leave it up for a few days so that your pooch can get used to having a tree in the house. That way they’ll be less interested in it once it’s decorated. Electrical wires - You need to be really careful with any electrical wires leading from your tree to a plug socket. Not only could your pup get tangled in them but there’s a risk of electric shock if they’re a chewer. Ornaments - Any fragile or particularly sentimental ornaments should go higher up on the tree so your dog doesn’t go for them. Apart from the loss of your lovely decorations, they could be a choking hazard or cause paw or mouth injuries.
