On Tuesday, December 17, veterinarians reminded owners of pets how to protect them during the holidays. This was told in the Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Moscow region.

According to experts, decorating the Christmas tree, it is necessary to leave the bottom rows empty, as garlands, tinsel and other decorations pose a danger to the pet.

"If he began to have nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, salivation, general malaise, you should immediately contact a veterinarian," the press service of the department told Radio 1.
