Christmas trees are also generally safe for pets. However, pine needles can cause damage to eyes if pets should run into the tree, such as a corneal laceration. Should pets ingest the sap produced by the tree, mild gastrointestinal discomfort may occur, but natural trees are generally non-toxic for cats and dogs.

Live Trees: Fir, spruce, and pine trees make excellent Christmas trees, but their oils can irritate your pets mouth, leading to excessive drooling or vomiting. The needles can create more of an issue, as they are not easily digested and can cause gastrointestinal irritation, vomiting, an obstruction, or perforate the intestines. 1 ?
