Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Doggie is thirsty. The water keeping the new Christmas tree alive in the tree stand looks refreshing. The tree preservatives you put in the water are not toxic, so let Doggie drink! There is no danger...True or False?

Answer: False

False! The tree preservatives are sugar-based and may become hosts to bacterial growth if the water is left to sit for a long period of time. This can make Doggie sick...
2. Kitty and Doggie are waiting for you to add the Christmas tree decorations! As you sift through the boxes containing them, which would be the safest to hang on the tree?

Answer: large one-piece, non-breakable ornaments

Ornaments should be too big to swallow. Glass ornaments knocked off the tree by Kitty could cause cuts on paw pads, and the sharp hooks can get imbedded in the mouth! Anything edible might lead to the tree being knocked over if Doggie jumps on the tree to get it, and could cause an obstruction if eaten.
3. Kitty sees something hanging in strands from the Christmas tree. It has a bright finish and looks very flexible. Kitty decides to start chewing some, and it becomes wrapped around Kitty's tongue! As Kitty struggles to remove it, it gets stretched out and wraps even tighter around Kitty's tongue! What is it?

Answer: tinsel

Tinsel can cut sensitive tissue in Kitty's mouth and stop the circulation of blood to the tongue. If a strand is swallowed, it can bunch up and block the intestine. Usually surgery is required to remove it. It's best to leave tinsel off the Christmas tree!
4. Doggie is watching you bake chocolate chip cookies to leave for Santa. He gives you that sad Doggie-eyed look of his, and you're tempted to give him some of the semisweet baking chocolate. Don't!!! What is the compound found in chocolate that could be fatal to Doggie?

Answer: theobromine

The compound, theobromine, is worst in unsweetened baking chocolate and dark chocolate. It may cause vomiting, diarrhea, heart irregularities, muscle tremors, seizures and coma in dogs.
5. Hanging over the doorway to the kitchen is some mistletoe and holly. Doggie and Kitty probably won't swallow any of the leaves because they are tough, pointed, and hard to chew. What other part of mistletoe and holly can fall off and be very toxic if eaten?

Answer: berries

Nowadays, most commercially available mistletoe has plastic berries instead of the real thing...but! those are small and could still pose a choking problem..
6. Kitty has manners, but Doggie is always begging for table scraps and leftovers! Many holiday foods are high in fat and can cause gastrointestinal disturbances in pets. Which organ of the body can be over-stimulated and secrete enzymes leading to inflammation?

Answer: pancreas

Signs of pancreatitis include vomiting and abdominal pain, which is often quite severe.
7. With visitors coming, you decide to make the path to the house safer by scattering rock salt on the ice. Doggie is outside too, getting into everything as usual! Which of the following probably won't be irritated by the rock salt Doggie is now playing with?

Answer: ears

First aid for rock salt (made of calcium chloride) ingestion, is to give Doggie a small meal, and maybe some water or milk too. Walking on the rock salt can irritate Doggie's paws!
8. The neighbors have arrived! Good-natured Mike has brought along plenty of alcohol for the festivities. Curious Kitty shows up, attracted by the sweet smell of eggnog...How many ounces of liquor does it take to depress the nervous system and stop the breathing of a 10-15 pound Kitty?

Answer: three ounces

A deadlier form of alcohol can be found in your garage...the automotive antifreeze which has been drained from the radiator and might be sitting around! As little as a tablespoon can kill a cat, and a couple of ounces can kill a dog...
9. The neighbors, who think your house smells too much like Doggie and Kitty, have given you some potpourri oil as a gift. This is very hazardous to Kitty because of the essential oils and what other ingredient?

Answer: cationic detergents

Ingesting cationic detergents in potpourri oil can result in the inflammation of the mouth, tongue, and throat. Exposure of the eyes to it can result in mild irritation or corneal ulcerations.
10. Everyone is sitting around after the big holiday meal, dozing off. Doggie and Kitty are in the kitchen seeing what remains of the food preparation. Which of the following can be a potential hazard for them?

Answer: all of these

Please keep your pets safe...Put all food away and pet-proof your garbage. Happy Holidays, from Doggie and Kitty!
