It's the most wonderful time of the year! But with all the Christmas joy comes a few hidden dangers for your furry friends. Follow these tips to keep your pets safe this holiday season:

> Secure your Christmas tree so it does not accidentally tip over on your pet, and be sure they don't access the water for the tree - it could contain fertilizers or bacteria that could make them sick.

> Pine needles, when ingested, could get lodged in your pet's throat and cause serious damage. And speaking of munching on greens, many seasonal plants are poisonous to pets including holly, ivy, mistletoe and poinsettias.

> Keep the wires, batteries, and ornaments out of reach or you may end up with a pet with an electric shock or injury to the mouth.

> Avoid these foods!!! Chocolate, fatty and spicy foods, bones, anything with a pit, garlic, grapes and raisins, and keep that trash can closed and secured!

> Be prepared in case of an emergency. Find out which 24/7 emergency vet is closest to you.

Wishing you and your furry friends a safe and happy holiday!

As you fire up your stove and oven this Thanksgiving, it is helpful to know about the risks of cooking with a gas appliance.

>Did you know that cooking with gas can produce air pollution levels inside your home that would be ILLEGAL outdoors?<

Gas stoves have been shows to emit levels of nitrogen dioxide that the EPA ruled illegal outdoors. And running a gas stove for an hour without proper ventilation can raise your home's carbon monoxide level to 3,000 parts per billion, which far exceeds health standards.

The healthiest option is to use an electric stove and induction cooktop - however if gas is your preferred method, there are some things you can do to reduce the risk of polluting your indoor air this Thanksgiving:

1. Use proper ventilation. Use a ducted range hood which goes over your gas stove and vents the air and smoke outdoors.

2. Consider using a plug-in, portable cooktop. These appliances can be plugged into a normal outlet and can limit the amount you need your gas stove.

3. Open up windows to create a draft of fresh air.

4. ALWAYS have working carbon monoxide detectors on every level of your home.

5. Invest in a HEPA air purifier with a carbon filter to remove some of the airborne pollutants from your gas stove.

6. Cook your turkey outdoors to avoid having to use your gas oven for hours.

7. Get a home energy audit. Trained technicians will test your gas stove for leaks. Often, homeowners have gas leaks and do not even realize it!
