Sisu Care

When filling the stand with your Christmas tree water, pet owners should be aware of the dangers of Christmas tree water. The experts recommend the following:

No matter how much they love it, your pet should never be allowed to drink the Christmas tree water. The sap leaks from the tree into the Christmas tree water and can make them very sick. In addition, the preservatives that some people add to their Christmas tree water can cause illness in pets of all kinds.

• Lemon scented air freshener sprayed around the base of the tree will discourage most animals from getting close enough to drink the Christmas tree water.
• If you can’t discourage your pet from getting under the tree, an e-collar is a great way to protect them from the Christmas tree water. Don’t put the collar on your pet — snap it around the base of your tree and they won’t be able to access the water underneath. This makes refreshing the water a little more time-consuming, but ensuring the health of your pet is worth it.
