Christmas and the dangers for dogs

We all look forward to Christmas with the family but sometimes we take our eye off the dogs because there is so much going on.  Dogs end up at veterinary surgeons for eating things they should not.  So what is toxic to dogs?
Chocolate contains theobromine which is deadly poisonous to dogs. But they have to eat a lot of it. Plus it depends on how big the dog is to how much it's eaten.  Contact your veterinary surgeon who will make your dog sick.
Grapes - Highly toxic. Keep out of reach.  Even if your dog eats two grapes consult your veterinary surgeon. It kills the kidneys. 
Raisins and sultanas - Highly toxic and causes kidneys to shut down.  
Do not give mince pies to dogs, or old fashioned Christmas cake. Not even a little bit.  Consult your dog if you have given the dog this. 
Mistletoe berries - highly toxic.
Holly berries - toxic
Yew tree - toxic. 
Hyacinth bulbs  poisonous

Baubles, tree decorations. lights. 

Make sure your pet is left over night in a safe environment, either a room with no Christmas decorations or crate.  Have a wonderful time with your family. But do think dog!
