Tania is advising pet owners in Calne to think very carefully before involving their pets in the celebrations and has compiled a ‘12 Pet-Falls of Christmas’ guide to help keep Calne’s pets, and their owners, on the straight and narrow. Poinsettias/Holly/Ivy - some pets can’t resist chewing these Christmas plants but they are poisonous and can lead to mouth and / or stomach infections so keep out of reach. Young Children - love to stroke pets and owners should tell friends with little ones how they would like them to behave around their pet, for example, ask them not to over do it in terms of cuddles and affection.

If you are worried about how your pet will cope with Christmas, contact the Oscar Pet Foods advice line on 0800 195 8000. Read More
