20 Ways To Protect Your Christmas Trees from Your Pets’ Destructive Tendencies
Most pets are playful by nature. Unfortunately, such playfulness takes a negative turn during the holiday season when they decide that Christmas decors are their toys, too. And the most common victim of our pets’ destructive tendencies? The poor Christmas tree.
It takes us creativity, imagination, effort, and of course, moolah, to put up a beautiful Christmas tree. But, it takes mere seconds for our pets to bring those trees down, not to mention the gifts underneath that get ripped apart.
So to avoid such pet-related Christmas tree accidents and make those trees pet-proof, we have a few suggestions that you might want to try. Though some are outright hilarious, some might be pretty effective in fending off those naughty paws.
