Pet owners have been warned over one common Christmas item that can cause "serious problems" for pets.
The PDSA, the veterinary charity for pets in need, issued the warning ahead of the festive period and urged pet owners to be careful as they spend more time with their pets and their family. Nina Downing, veterinary nurse at the the PDSA, warned people about the dangers of wrapping paper and other products used to wrap and prepare presents intended for loved ones.
Nina urged pet owners to watch out for things like sticky tape, bows, ribbons and string, as well as wrapping paper itself, which can all represent a choking hazard to our beloved pets. She said: "Sticky tape, bows, ribbons, and string can be a choking hazard and cause internal blockages if swallowed by our precious pets.
