The holidays are a cozy time for many people, full of good food, decorations and warm moments together. For our animals, however, this period can also bring unexpected risks. Fortunately, you can prevent many problems with a few simple precautions. In this blog, we list the most important points of attention for you, so you and your special pet can safely enjoy the holidays. <\/p>\n\n
Chocolate contains theobromine, a substance toxic to dogs, cats, rabbits and birds. The purer the chocolate, the higher the concentration and thus the more dangerous.
These seem harmless, but can cause acute kidney problems in dogs. So currant bread and stollen are also not good snacks for your four-legged friend. <\/p>\n\n
Many party dishes contain ingredients that are not suitable for animals.
A curious lick from a glass of mulled wine or champagne may seem harmless, but animals react much more sensitively to alcohol and can quickly develop serious symptoms.<\/p>\n\n
The Christmas tree is a part of December, but for some animals it poses a few risks.<\/p>\n\n
Rabbits are curious gnawers. Most Christmas tree species are not directly poisonous, but the stuck resin and any artificial snow can cause problems. So prefer to keep them away. Also pay attention to the cord of Christmas lights! <\/p>\n\n
Birds can react sensitively to fumes from scented candles, sprays and artificial snow. Provide plenty of fresh air and don’t let them nibble on or on the Christmas tree. <\/p>\n\n
During the holidays there is a lot of gourmet, grilling and baking. For birds, this can be life-threatening. <\/p>\n\n
Many pans, non-stick coatings and utensils contain PFTE\/Teflon. When these materials get too hot, they can release invisible fumes that are extremely toxic to birds, even in small amounts.
Our advice: Loud noises, unfamiliar visitors and busy times can cause stress.<\/p>\n\nAdornment: attractive but sometimes risky<\/h2>\n\n

Noise & stress: fireworks and party crowds<\/h2>\n\n
