The Homebase UK representative said that with Christmas behind us, it would be the "perfect time" to go back into the garden and catch up on all of the work ahead.
The expert urged people not to throw their Christmas trees in the landfill as it was bad practice.
He said the tree is rotting and producing greenhouse gases, the Express said.
Instead, he suggested composting the tree and burning the other parts.
The green guru said that plants need protection from birds and the cold at this time of year and said that this can be done with bells or nets.
He said, "Protect your plants, especially cruciferous vegetables, from hungry birds with bluebells and nets."
When it comes to lawn maintenance, January is a good month to get in shape due to the softer soil.
"Level your lawn in a day of loose dirt for a cleaner, sharper finish," he said.
It's also time to plant eggplant, cabbage, leek, and cauliflower in indoor gardens. Bean and pea seeds can be planted outdoors.
And Jerusalem artichokes, Brussels sprouts, carrots, kale, leeks, parsnips and kohlrabi are ready for harvest.
The expert also reminded gardeners to leave food for wildlife, which often struggles at this time of year because grocery stores are sold out.
The expert said, "Take care of the birds visiting your garden by keeping the bird baths full and ice-free and feeding them a winter seed mix."
He also urged people to install a water tank "so that it can fill up by next spring".
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. - Miami-Dade County firefighters continued to inspect New Year's Eve fireworks vendors, which operated in tents Thursday.
Firefighters want anyone looking to purchase fireworks to do so from a licensed and authorized dealer and then pay special attention to the safety of their fireworks.
They also reminded the public that the risk of injury from fireworks in children ages 5-14 is two and a half times higher than the general population. Sparklers, fountains and novelties alone account for 36% of fireworks injuries in emergency rooms.
Here is her list of tips for safely enjoying fireworks:
The safest way to enjoy fireworks is to attend public fireworks organized by trained professionals. These fireworks tend to be free too and are far more impressive than anything you can buy around the corner.
If you are determined to make your own fireworks, make sure that a responsible adult is around at all times and is in charge of lighting all the sparklers and fireworks.
Never use illegal fireworks. Anything thrown in the air, exploding or exploding, or containing more than 100 grams of the sparking chemical is illegal. If you are unsure, be sure to buy your fireworks from a dealer who is officially licensed to sell fireworks.
Read and follow all directions on the label, and keep all bystanders a safe distance from the ignition point.
Use fireworks outdoors, away from houses, vehicles, trees, and other flammable objects. Choose a smooth, hard surface with no dry grass and brush to light all fireworks and sparklers.
Never try to re-light "dropouts" or fireworks that did not work the first time.
After the Christmas holidays and lots of laundry, your washing machine seems to need cleaning. One of the most common problems in thecleanlinessof is fan that the joints of your washing machine filled with dirt and excess water. Fans of cleaning star Ms. Hinch , whose real name is Sophie Hinchliffe, explained how to keep window seals clean.
Amanda Thwaits replied, "I always dry mine with paper towels and leave a bulge at the bottom of the seal and leave the door open."
Vivienne Copeland commented, "Totally normal, just clean it every time you use it and leave the door ajar."
Macy Vanner said, "I thought it was normal and you leave the door open after washing to prevent mold.
"Or soak a tea towel or paper towel."
Opening the washing machine door allows moisture to escape and prevents mold and mildew.
Other suggestions from Ms. Hinch's fans included a hot water wash, cleaning the machine, and checking seal holes and drains.
Ella Gardner said, "This happens when the water pressure is too high, too much water can get into the drum during washing, causing it to get into the seal and filter, etc."
Hilary Dyer replied, "I cleaned mine well some time ago and was appalled at the amount of awful mud I found both above and below.
"I slide in a tea towel after each wash and dry it completely. "
Reece Penney said, "You always have water there, it will keep the seal from drying out and easily cracking and tearing when not in use."
Charlene Conyard replied, "It could be the water pipes.
"If you have baking soda, put it in the sink, let it sit for a while, then a kettle of hot water will kill the odor from the pipes."
"So if you have dishwasher tabs in a hot wash in the machine's drum, you should clean everything. Do the sink first.
Emma Walker suggested, "The rubber on the door has a small hole at the bottom, make sure it's not blocked."
Airam Lily said, "A service technician told me to put my machine in the hottest wash once a month with no product.
"Thoroughly clean your machine and all of your pipes. Forget about expensive products.
Andy Lee said, "It looks like limestone, Calgon might be worth using for a while."
AFTER a long day of vacuuming, dusting, and cleaning, you will likely feel like everything is neat and clean.
However, it turns out that you are forgetting to clean an important tool: the vacuum cleaner.

If we have learned anything from the 2020s and 2021s, it is that we better prepare for anything.
Now that 2022 has come, let's outline the projects and tasks that you will need to plan for over the course of the year. This year it's especially important to have a plan and support, and possibly support for your support.
With staff and material shortages coupled with your rising costs, you need to make sure you can handle large projects and repairs financially and chronologically. To reduce the risk of costly repairs and replacements, regular maintenance is essential and you need to plan for it.
Monthly house maintenance
You can do most of these monthly tasks yourself and only need common household appliances.
Change the air filter . Rosie recommends the 1-inch pleated paper filter that sits comfortably in the holder. If you have pets that are hairy or hypersensitive, they may need more frequent cleaning.
Check for leaks near toilets and sinks. Any sign of a leak could cost hundreds of dollars in repairs and wasted water. Put a paper towel under each sink in the house and check for water stains.
Sealing gaps or cracks around and in bathtubs and showers.
Thoroughly clean the extractor hood and filter.
Test smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. Non-replaceable 10-year battery smoke detectors are designed for a duration of up to 10 years. If the alarm sounds, indicating a low battery, replace the smoke alarm assembly immediately.
Smoke alarms with any other type of battery will need a new battery at least once a year, possibly on New Years Day, whether they need it or not. An acoustic alarm warns of low battery levels. Replace the battery immediately.
Take a walk outside the house. Check for problems with the foundation, vents, gutters, and drainage pipes.
winter
Put your garagedoor security to the test. Make sure the chain pulls smoothly.
spring
Cooling and heating system.
Oh, you don't want to be caught without air conditioning in early May at the latest! Schedule the tuning and maintenance of your air conditioning system, which includes:
Check that the thermostat settings are correct.
Cleaning fan blades and coils.
Checking the fan motor and critical electrical components
Check the entire system for damage from winter hail
If your heating and air conditioning system is indoors and easily accessible, such as in a closet, check the closet for holes or leaks that a technician can fix.
Roof inspection
Examine your roof before the monsoons set in. Otherwise, a leak could mean waiting weeks for a repair or even for someone to put a tarp down.
Seal cracks and gaps in windows and doors with sealant or sealing tape; replace it if necessary.
summer
Test the security of your garage door again.
Check the weather strips on doors and windows.
Falls
Cooling and heating system.
Even if the air conditioner continues to work, plan to have your HVAC equipment checked every six months by mid-October at the latest. This makes the oven suitable for winter.
Chimney maintenance
Keeping the chimney and chimney clean is a safety issue. If you've used the fireplace in the winter, get a professional chimney sweep . It's a complicated job that you'd probably rather have someone else do.
According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), a chimney should be swept at least once a year to keep it in good condition. If you have an oil or wood fireplace, you should clean it twice a year, depending on how it is used.
Pool maintenance
Evaluate the running time of the pool motor and the consumption of chemicals. The engine can be reduced a few hours per day outside of peak times. Less chlorine is required at colder temperatures. Test your pool water (or have it tested by your local pool supplier) and make sure you are not spending any money on excessive chlorination. Check the pool filters and baskets.
irrigation
Sprinkler systems should be adjusted quarterly and according to the seasonal weather.
Daytime temperatures fluctuate around 80 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit and nights drop to around 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Warmer weather favors Bermuda grass while it prevents winter grass from establishing itself. If you've planted in cold weather, frost may occur which will damage young grass shoots.
Foundation inspection
The monsoons lead to a lot of flooding. Pay attention to foundations , driveways and driveways for signs of vibrations. If you notice any changes, make an appointment with a foundation specialist.
Roof inspection
If you didn't do it in the spring and weathered the monsoons with no leak, call now to schedule a pre-winter rain inspection. Roofers are exceptionally busy because of the rain. Get into his schedule now.
Replace old drafty windows with more energy-efficient ones.
Wrap insulation around outside fittings and plumbing in unheated garages.
Make a plan
Always plan for the unexpected. Whether it is a new HVAC, toilet, or utility unit, you need to find a reputable and licensed contractor, e.g. B. a Rosies certified partner, and the necessary funding to cover the costs.
HomeZada is the one-stop- shop that brings together all the information you need about your household's wealth and different spending categories . Keep track of the insurance coverage and the costs of your home insurance as well as property taxes. Budget for all common household expenses such as energy, water, garbage, internet, and other premium expenses such as garden and swimming pool services.
To budget for repairs, consider a savings account rather than a home guarantee. Sometimes warranties often don't cover what is needed for major repairs. And with a residential guarantee, you may not be able to choose the contractors to do the job.
Preventive maintenance goes a long way towards extending the life of the systems and products in which you have invested. Too often we stand by until something breaks, which can lead to large and unexpected repair and replacement bills. Take care of your home and it will serve you well!

With all of the problems in the supply chain, taking care of many of the things we have, including the equipment, can be more important than ever.
The microwave is a staple food for many families.
"We use it all day, every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner," said Caroline Schofield.
He does all of this work and is abused a lot.
In order for them to last as long as possible, microwaves need a little love.
Consumer Reports says the average unit should last about 10 years.
To ensure that your microwave has a long service life, clean the interior regularly, because dirt residues are not only coarse, but can also absorb energy and, when the microwave is switched on, cause hot spots that can damage the interior. So clean up spills as soon as they occur.
Above the door, which tends to close, is simple but really important technology inside.
"There are switches in the door that turn off the oven when it is opened. There are also latch components that need to stay aligned, so don't close the door, "said Tanya Christian of Consumer Reports.
Never let your microwave run empty. Microwaves vibrate molecules in food and generate heat so that the device can overheat without anything.
Certain items can catch fire or create sparks and should never be used in your microwave, including brown paper bags, metal pots or coffee mugs, removing containers with metal handles, zip ties, or anything covered with aluminum foil.
If you see sparks or arcs in your microwave, turn it off immediately.
"Line width microwaves are not easy to replace, so take special care. Use the exhaust fan while cooking to prevent moisture from building up on the microwave's electronics, "said Christian.
If you have children who use the microwave make sure they understand the difference between setting the minutes and the hours. One simple mistake can fry your microwave.
Finally, clean the exhaust air filter by immersing it in hot water and a grease-dissolving cleaning agent. Read your manual before putting it in the dishwasher.

An electric bike, like any other bike, requires regular maintenance. Cleaning and maintaining your electric bike will keep it in good condition efficiently and safely, and will extend the life of the battery and motor.
This article describes how to care for your electric bike, focusing on how to extend the battery life of a user's electric bike and how to maintain their battery.
E-bike users are obviously very interested in knowing how far they can go before the battery runs out, so charging and smart riding are essential.
The good news is that extending the battery life of an electric bike is pretty easy:
Basics of electric bike maintenance
Maintaining an electric bike, like any other bike, can help the rider get the most out of it and extend the life of critical components.
Here is a quick overview of the basics of e- bike maintenance as recommended by BikeRadar :
Keep a clean bike, greased gearbox, and properly inflated tires.
Regularly check for loose nuts, spokes, and broken parts.
Keep the battery charged and in a cool, dry place.
Avoid storing the battery when it is empty.
Use only the correct charger to charge the battery.
Check for software updates regularly.
If you have a problem, contact a dealer. Never disassemble or repair the engine or battery by yourself.
How to extend the battery life of an electric bike
As TechRadar reported, there are proven ways to add battery power to an electric bike
Whenever a user has the opportunity, recharge the battery.
Use Eco mode whenever possible.
Pay attention to wind resistance.
Do not keep the battery of the e-bike low.
If possible, Iker shouldn't pretend to attack. Because batteries can be charged hundreds of times, even regular users will benefit from years of use before they need to be replaced.
So always charge the battery when an electrical outlet is available. Because of this, some travelers have a separate charger at work.
Another tip to extend battery life is to store the battery for long-term storage with a 30-60% charge; Please refer to the user manual for more information.
Low temperatures can quickly discharge the lithium-ion batteries used in electric bicycles. If the battery is not removable, keep the battery or bike in a heated place when the weather turns cold.
When riding, the use of Eco mode or the lowest available assistance level on the bike helps the rider to get more kilometers out of his battery.
Turbo, top mode, on the other hand, wears out quickly.
Riding with a higher cadence and pedaling faster is also more efficient.
Even in calm climates, a driver will encounter wind resistance due to their own forward movement.
In order to overcome the increased wind resistance, a speed increase from 16 km / h to 25 km / h by 50% requires twice the power that the rider and his batteries provide in an electric bike.
When a driver is at the end of their battery life, driving a little slower can drive them longer with less energy.
Of course, a cyclist cannot oppose the natural headwind; However, keep in mind that this will deplete your strength faster if the driver continues to travel at a certain speed.
Finally, when handling batteries, you should be careful when inserting and removing them as batteries are heavy and expensive.
Always follow the charging and maintenance recommendations of the electric bike manufacturer. A defective battery in an electric bike can generate dangerously high temperatures.

"Just soak a dishwasher tab or two in warm water, long enough to soak up the water, but not long enough for the tablet to dissolve or crumble.
"Wear rubber gloves, hold on to the grate, and use it to remove excess fat in your oven.
"I recommend using the flat bottom of the tablet in a circular motion for the best scrubbing action and results.
"If the tablet gets too dirty or starts to dry out, soak it again in lukewarm water and start over. The best part is that the crockery basket can also be safely used on the glass door of the oven and on bare metal surfaces.
"When you're done, wipe off any residue with a damp cloth. "
Baking soda can be used by mixing it with water to create a past.
The mixture can be brushed over the oven with a brush and then rubbed off with a damp cloth.

Prosecco and white wine are often spilled on the floor at Christmas parties.
Regardless of the strength of the stain, Prosecco and white wine stains are easy to remove.
White wine or prosecco stains on carpets should be wiped up with a dry cloth or paper towel as soon as possible.
Once most of the spilled liquid is covered, remove the stain with a warm water solution, one tablespoon of white vinegar, and one tablespoon of dish soap.
Apply a small amount at a time and wipe with a clean white cloth until the spill is gone.
While white wine is unlikely to stain wood, vinyl, or laminate floors, it should be cleaned to prevent moisture damage.
Use a paper towel to soak up any excess liquid before wiping it off or wiping it off with soapy water.
To avoid damaging the floor, wring out the rag or mop first.
A red wine stain on an off-white rug or rug can be disastrous and difficult to clean.

"Surprised to see it is contraindicated! "| Best Premier League bets
Who has the best games of Gameweek 19?
It's difficult because we don't know exactly which players are available for Boxing Day games. Of course, the FDR doesn't take this into account, so keep that in mind.
However, BURNLEY seems to be a game under 2.5 against EVERTON , so defensive strengths could be decisive here.
TOTTENHAM hopes to build on his performance, a game in which it 2: 2 were undecided, but should have won as they compete this week at home against Crystal Palace because of the opportunities it offers.
ARSENAL spends Christmas in the top 4 and can move up to the top on its journey to Norwich. People like Emile Smith Rowe will continue to be popular.
What are the best transfers for Gameweek 19?
Based on stats, form, and games, we've selected three players to consider for Gameweek 19.
Aaron Ramsdale
Position: GK
FPL Price: £ 5.1m
Sky Prize: £ 6.8 million
A bargain price for a goalkeeper starting at a top four club, Aaron Ramsdale could concede two goals over the holiday season.
In week 19, Arsenal face a fighting Norwich, followed by a game against the Wolves. These two have scored the fewest goals in the Premier League this season: Canarias have scored eight, Wolves have scored 13 after 18 games.
Ramsdale has tidied his blades in two of his last three starts with 18 FPL points earned over that period. Only the Wolf José Sa, also £ 5.1million, contributed more points to the goalkeepers.
Six goalkeepers are more expensive than Ramsdale's and we can only hope they continue to raise £ 5.1million; this is a solid option for the next few weeks and more.
Now he has scored in each of his last three games and contributed 28 FPL points in that period. There was also the assist against Norwich with white points over two.
That brought his league total for the season to seven. Son averages a pretty decent 0.40 xG per game, while also seeing a total of 2.40 shots, of which 1.02 hit the target.
This Tottenham team could be on the rise with Antonio Conte. With a solid 16.3% selection rate, it offers some items that many others don't.
Armando Broja
Position: FWD
FPL Price: £ 5.1m
Sky Prize: £ 6.6 million
A player who has already been mentioned but is a solid addition to the Christmas season due to his form: Armando Broja is traveling to Boxing Day after scoring two goals in his last three appearances.
The Southampton forward is a steal at £ 5.1m, considering he has scored four goals in 13 games; the fact that six of them made headlines also underscores their impact.
Broja fires an average of 2.36 rounds, 1.25 at the target, and 0.37 xG every 95 minutes. His return to the FPL in the last three weeks of play that he competed is 22 points.
Some may choose SON HEUNG-MIN as the differentiating captain given his recent form and Tottenham's home game against Crystal Palace. He would have delivered 26 armband points in week 15 against Norwich.
JOAO CANCELO scored a goal last week and scored a whopping 18 points at the FPL. So he's still a good option if Manchester City competes against Leicester.
We previously targeted Liverpool players in the original version of this column, but the postponement of their game against Leeds is forcing us to look elsewhere.
As we said in last week's column, make sure your captain and vice-captain play in different games for different teams . Doubling up with just one team is a huge risk if this game is canceled soon.

"After 45 minutes, turn off the oven and let it cool until it's hot enough to handle. Use a damp pumice stone just to remove dirt and grease from the oven."
"This method works well for light to medium fat levels. If you are dealing with an extremely dirty and greasy oven, it is recommended that you use the baking soda method."
Use vinegar
Matthew continued, "Splash vinegar directly on the grease stain and let it sit for about five minutes. This will soften the grease and then scrub with a soft sponge.
"For best results, use vinegar when the oven is slightly hot to remove stubborn and crusty stains. Vinegar is also a great grease repellent for your baking pans.
"Just add a cup of vinegar and three-quarters of a cup of water to your saucepan for 15 minutes to prevent grease from sticking and possibly splattering in your oven."
New to the grocery delivery or grocery sales industry for years, driving the food truck is the most influential part of the job. However, most of the people involved in the food delivery ignore this. As you will see, poor van maintenance carries many risks. There you can also find great tips for caring for your food delivery truck.
As a delivery driver, you know more than anyone about the importance of your food truck. Because that keeps the business going, that is, if your food truck is no longer running, your entire business will shut down.
Most van owners start a business because they can't afford a grocery store or they have both. And the complexity is similar to that of a grocery store. Yes, the paperwork and business models are different. However, both require equal attention. Like a grocery store, the store needs regular cleaning and maintenance such as air conditioning, etc. The food truck needs regular maintenance to keep it in top condition and to be able to deliver food without any problems in the near future.
Less downtime means more sales
According to the previous point, the less downtime, the more sales. For example, if you made $ 500 on a day of driving, imagine what would happen if the truck didn't start that day. Instead of making money, you will lose money to the mechanic and one day income will suffer as well. On the other hand, you can significantly reduce these risks if you allow time for regular checks and maintenance. This avoids any complexity. And help you make a good income.
Regular maintenance saves money in the long term
As with anything, prevention is better than cure: keeping it eliminates the chances of fixing it. Or at least reduce the chances of finding a destination to take care of your truck on a very busy day. For example, checking the tire pressure before embarking on a trip eliminates the risk of the tire exploding in the middle of the road.
So there are a few things you can check to keep your car's gears intact. You can assume that regular inspection is unnecessary and a waste of time and effort; his presumptuousness will suffer if he suffers a similar fate (hopefully not). Plus, it's often the little things that are ignored that lead to more serious problems. To avoid these problems, you should maintain the food truck regularly.
Maintaining your truck creates good business habits
Respect for your company is one of the most important aspects of doing business. You cannot grow your business if you do not like the things that run your business. It therefore helps to instill a sense of pride in yourself when employees are responsible for cleaning trucks. You will also feel that your business is not all about delivery. But you appreciate it. And that will help them appreciate it too. So keep these skins clean, clean the dirt inside, and create an aura that fruits will appreciate.
Food truck maintenance tips
So what to do Mainly how to take care of the food delivery truck. Read on for maintenance tips: ● Check your batteries regularly.
Batteries can seriously damage your food truck if they fail. The truck doesn't even start, let alone the idea of preserving the fruit. Therefore, check the batteries regularly and check that they contain enough liquid to remain stable throughout the journey. Also, replace it if it's not reliable enough, don't think too much about it. ● Watch the fluids
When was the last time you took the truck to a service technician? Which liquids did you change? Engine oils? Well, other critical fluids are important to keep the vehicle running: transmission fluid, brake fluid, coolant fluid, etc. So take the time to go to a service center and check all of these fluids and change them if necessary. ● Change the engine oil regularly.
The vitality of regular engine oil lubrication cannot be emphasized. Engines need fluids so don't forget to change them after you've earned miles. Even take a load or two to change your engine oil to avoid accidents. ● Check the filters
In addition to just handling fluids, you should also take care of your oil, fuel and transmission filters at regular intervals. If you find them obstructing or restricting the flow of fuel, replace them according to the manufacturer's requirements.
Conclusion
So that's it! Now you know both. The importance of keeping your food truck healthy and how to care for it. Remember, once you get into the habit of servicing your truck regularly, you will never face serious problems again. Even if you take little time at the beginning of the journey (loading) or at the end of the journey (unloading the cargo), your schedule will not be interrupted in the long run. Instead, it helps you maintain it.
As already mentioned, regular maintenance prevents serious setbacks and enables you to make more money in the long run.
You understand it. It's fun while it lasts, but by the time you get to the end of the vacation you might find that you have a lot of household chores to do ...
Despite the glitz and glamor of Christmas , dog owners should take the necessary precautions to keep their pets safe. From long trips to loud noises, many dogs can find the holiday season overwhelming.
To give your dog a happy and healthy Christmas to ensure it has Matalan teamed with the animal physiotherapist Tilly Wild to make around Christmas time as safe as possible. Check out their tips below ...
Celebrations
1. Pay attention to loud noises
Desensitizing your dog to loud noises is a great way to keep him calm. Whether it's the sound of fireworks or party blasts, provide them with a quiet place like a den, cage, puppy hutch, or a room away from constant noise.
If you are a host, be sure to reserve time for your dog. Our furry friends can easily become overwhelmed or anxious, so it's important to provide them with a quiet place to calm down.
"Like your dog, children can be excitable, which is difficult for some dogs to take," says Tilly. "When children are around, make sure they know how to handle a dog and don't leave them unattended. "
2. Don't leave gifts behind
Dogs and gifts don't always go together. To avoid undesirable behavior, owners should consider packing individual unboxing (or chewing!) Gifts for dogs while each one opens their own to avoid undesirable behavior.
"With loads of new scents, items to explore (and wrapping paper to tear up), your curious dog can get overly excited, too," says Tilly. "If your dog has a tendency to eat paper instead of shredding it, hide his gift in something else or surprise him in the middle."

3. Save the sand
Lots of homes are littered with rubbish at Christmas time, from wrapping paper to the cheap plastic prices found in biscuits . To protect our curious pups, use any decorative hooks, garlands, ribbons, or scraps of food that fall on the floor. Your pet could suffer serious internal injuries if they swallowed any of these objects.
Tilly adds, "Since many dogs love to tear up wrapping paper, prepare a garbage bag that the paper can be thrown into immediately so you don't have to clean up homemade snow too!"
4. Keep your dog for a walk all the time
Hardly any Christmas tradition is more invigorating than a refreshing walk. Whatever your plans, stick to your dog's routine as much as possible over the holiday season to keep it consistent. Use caution when walking on frozen lawns, icy paths, and gravel as these can dry out and break your dog's paws.

DECORATIONS
5. Be careful with the Christmas tree
"Whether it's true or false, an indoor tree is likely an odd sight for your dog," says Tilly. "There is a high chance they will sniff, so make sure your tree is well anchored to reduce the risk of tipping over and injury and / or major damage."
When you have a real tree, brush up pesky pine needles on a regular basis. Although they are not toxic, ingesting too many pine needles can irritate the digestive system.
6. Cover the tree supports
At Christmas it is important to keep a close eye on your dog. In addition to the pine needles, make sure that the water in your Christmas tree is inaccessible to your pup as bacteria could make them sick.
Tilly recommends covering your tree with aluminum foil and a tree apron to prevent curious members of the four-legged family from entering. It will also sublimate your Christmas tree by hiding unsightly legs.
7. Hide lights and cables
Twinkling treelights fill any home with festive warmth, but they can cause electric shocks, mouth sores, or intestinal blockages if your dog tries to chew on them. When decorating, make sure that all of the cords are clean (or locked) so that your dog doesn't get tangled in them. It's also important that you don't leave your dog unattended on Christmas Day.

8. Throw the snowballs.
One obvious way to keep your dog safe from potentially dangerous decorations is to keep all decorations, including snow globes, away. While beautiful to look at, some snow globes are filled with a toxic chemical called ethylene glycol (antifreeze), which is extremely toxic to dogs.
9. Keep candles out of sight
Scented candles aren't necessarily bad for dogs to breathe, but they can easily fall off. Ideally, burning candles should always be placed on a stable surface, away from heavily frequented areas.
10. Beware of mistletoe and holly
Mistletoe and holly are some of the plants we associate with Christmas, but did you know they are poisonous to cats and dogs?
"Depending on the consumption of these holiday herbs, your dog can suffer from unpleasant stomach problems," says Tilly. "It's best to display them in an area inaccessible to your dog, or use artificial or animal-friendly versions of your happy plants instead."

TO EAT AND DRINK
11. Avoid feeding leftovers to dogs
There's nothing like roast meat and turkey slices left over from Boxing Day , but be careful not to feed your beggar dog the leftovers. According to Tilly, dog owners shouldn't give chocolate, cake, Christmas pudding, raisins, onions, and anything that contains alcohol.
"If you get up from the table without picking up the harness , make sure someone is watching the dog to make sure he doesn't lick up the leftovers himself!" "
12. Avoid feeding dog bones.
Never give your dog a bone from family dinner as it can break easily, break teeth, and cause internal locks.
"While your Christmas kitchen may leave you bones and corpses to throw away, it's not a smart way to give them to your dog," says Tilly. "Keep your bones out of reach and throw them away. "
13. Beware of sweets and chocolates
Some of our party favorites, including chocolates and candy, are dangerous to dogs. To protect your furry friends, avoid making homemade chocolate decorations and hanging candy on the tree.

14. Give them dog-friendly vegetables
What can you feed your dog for Christmas? Delicious delicacies include carrots, peas, broccoli and Brussels sprouts. To avoid stomach ache, Tilly advises resisting the urge to share her dinner and stick to her normal diet.
Home for christmas
15. Check that your car is ready.
At home for christmas? Before heading out on a long trip, make sure your car is ready for your dog's trip. According to traffic regulations, dogs must "be properly secured in the car so that they do not get distracted while driving" or injure themselves if it suddenly breaks. It may be worth buying a dog car seat to keep your pup safe.

16. Take regular breaks
"With a traveling dog, you need to consider the number of times it has to get out of the car to stretch its legs and go to the bathroom. So keep in mind that your pet will stop on your journey, "explains Tilly. "You can even do research and take a few winter walks along the way to also deplete some of your dog's energy before he gets to his destination."
17. Drink plenty of water
It's always a pleasure to see your friends and family over Christmas, but you need to make sure your car is fully equipped for a long trip. From dog snacks to cold water, the RSPCA recommends keeping your pup comfortable on the street. It is important to note that you should feed the dogs at least two hours before travel and not change their diet earlier to avoid abdominal pain.

18. Remember the basics
"Make sure you have everything you need for your trip," adds Tilly. "Since it is winter , extra blankets and towels as well as a glass filled with warm (not too hot!) Water are helpful. You'll need a leash when you stop, and make sure your dog has a collar with your contact details on just in case. separates from you.
