But the holidays can also be stressful and dangerous for pets if we\u2019re not careful. From festive foods to decorations and holiday visitors, there\u2019s a lot to think about. That\u2019s why PetWorks has put together <strong data-start=\"743\" data-end=\"764\">12 essential tips<\/strong> to keep your pets safe, happy, and included in the holiday cheer this Christmas Eve.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"858\" data-end=\"896\">1. Avoid Dangerous Holiday Foods<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"897\" data-end=\"1159\">Chocolate, grapes, raisins, macadamia nuts, and alcohol can all be toxic to pets. Even small amounts can cause serious health problems. Instead, stick to pet-safe treats or make homemade goodies like pumpkin biscuits or peanut butter cookies (without xylitol). Consult with an <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/hire\/animal-nutritionist\">animal nutritionist<\/a><\/span> for more detailed information on safe foods and foods to avoid.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1161\" data-end=\"1164\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"1166\" data-end=\"1200\">2. Watch Out for Decorations<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1201\" data-end=\"1396\">Ornaments, tinsel, and fairy lights may look festive, but they can be hazardous if ingested. Keep fragile decorations out of reach, secure cords, and never leave candles unattended around pets.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1398\" data-end=\"1401\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"1403\" data-end=\"1447\">3. Keep Holiday Gatherings Stress-Free<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1448\" data-end=\"1670\">Pets can get anxious with extra guests. Set up a quiet, safe space with their favorite bed, toys, and maybe some calming music. Offering treats and attention in this safe zone can help your pets feel included but secure.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1672\" data-end=\"1675\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"1677\" data-end=\"1704\">4. Winter Walk Safety<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1705\" data-end=\"1876\">Cold weather, ice, and snow can be tough on pets\u2019 paws. Use protective booties, keep walks shorter, and always wipe paws after returning home to remove ice melt or salt.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-6834 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/petworks-logo-article-e1734545691243.png\" alt=\"Christmas Eve Pets\" width=\"704\" height=\"131\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/petworks-logo-article-e1734545691243.png 704w, https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/petworks-logo-article-e1734545691243-300x56.png 300w, https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/petworks-logo-article-e1734545691243-640x119.png 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 704px) 100vw, 704px\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 3 []\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><em><strong>Are you finding this article useful?<\/strong> <\/em>Would you like 100% free access to more articles like these, and free access to <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a style=\"color: #000080; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/request_quote\">over 5,000 vetted pet care service professionals<\/a><\/span> throughout the United States? <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a style=\"color: #000080; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/join\">Sign up here <\/a><\/span>for a free Petworks account, and we&#8217;ll email you a\u00a0 10% discount code, good towards your first pet care services booking on Petworks!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1883\" data-end=\"1928\">5.

DIY Holiday Fun<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2775\" data-end=\"2933\">Create homemade toys or treats using pet-safe ingredients. Even a simple cardboard box or paper bag can become a festive play zone for curious cats or dogs.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"2935\" data-end=\"2938\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"2940\" data-end=\"2976\">10. Protect Your Pet\u2019s Routine<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2977\" data-end=\"3138\">Pets thrive on consistency. Stick to normal feeding and walking schedules as much as possible. A predictable routine helps reduce anxiety during holiday chaos.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2977\" data-end=\"3138\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-7515 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Petworks-Pet-Care-Service-Pro-Tips-e1736622469982.png\" alt=\"Christmas Eve Pets\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" \/>\u201cThe holidays can be exciting for families, but they can also pose hidden risks for pets.
