Paranoid Xmas Tree Question - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Has anyone ever had any problems with their furbabies eating the Xmas tree needles? Is it better to just convert to a fake tree?

i was thinking the same thing....i would like to know toooooooo

The only problems I have had with them is Ramsey taking the decorations off the tree. So the bottom layer of branches has no decorations.

Thank you.

I'm not too worried about Jackson bothering it either. He avoids anything prickly, even when I take him out to go potty.

Now I fear our kittens will be another story! Yikes!

I have a fake tree and all xmas bulbs are plastic or foam just in case..
They do get the round ones and toss them like a ball
and my Daisy trys to bury things in the tree cover..
Nothing to super bad...

I noticed another thread about the same topic. LADIES PLEASE SHARE YOUR EXPERTICE!! It could save alot of heartache this XMAS. AS always, it's much appreciated!

This is our 1st Christmas with our babies. I'm allergic to real trees, so we have a fake. We were putting up the tree last Sunday. Even fake trees shed. The girls had the needles in their fur & were trying to eat them. I cleaned up the ones that fell on the floor & did my best on getting the ones they took off with. I've found 2 bulbs so far in other rooms. So the bottom branches are bare now. I think they think they are balls to play with. I'm waiting to put their gifts under also, they will have the paper torn off & eaten before Christmas. I also had to put the stockings up, I found them dragged off also. It's something new, and they are having a hard time not checking it out.

This will be Lillies 1st X Mas, we always get a real tree, so I pray all will be fine!

HAHAHAH! And watch out for any decorations that are on the ground. I have this 5 foot snowman, that my little Brasco loved to peepee on last year! Little stinker!!!! So I sprayed it this year with NO GO, and so far, so good. No lifting of the leg on the snowman so far! HAHAHAH!

This will be Rudy's lst Christmas also.

Someone else mentioned exactly what we plan to do. Put a artificial small tree on a table top to prevent Rudy from getting into the decorations and possibly getting an ornament with a hook on it. I would never forgive myself for not trying to prevent that.

We bought him a Christmas stocking already and are looking forward to his lst Christmas with us.
