#1 Christmas & New Years
If eaten, holiday decorations such as ornaments, tinsel and poinsettias can all damage a pet's digestive system. Even gifts under the tree can be easily shredded by the claws of a pup or kitten, and the toys, food or jewelry hidden inside can (and probably will) be eaten.
The Christmas tree itself can also be trouble. Dogs may knock it over and cats may try to climb the branches, leading to harmful crashes as well as the pets getting tangled in the holiday lights.
Additionally, while adornments on pets such as bows around the neck or holiday costumes are very cute, they can lead to irritability or in extreme cases even suffocation.
Lastly, when New Year's finally rolls around try to keep the noisemakers to a minimum so you don't scare the pooch or kitty.

Holiday seasons is the best especially Christmas and New Years. Christmas tree and gifts under it are one of the usual things we never forgot to do when those dates are approaching. And of course, we also never forget to dress our pets to fit in the season which on my side I often do. From all the things you've said up there about precautions to pets' health/lives I'll take those tips seriously because I'll never want to put them at risk. Thanks! GAR Labs
