 
                            What are some of the top tips for new pet owners to keep their animals safe at Christmas?
We spoke to Juana Warburton, General Manager at the ManxSPCA, who outlined some of the things to be aware of:
She added that decorations such as tinsel and baubles should be kept away from pets as they're tempting to play with but could be dangerous.
Festive foods such chocolate, dried fruits, and alcohol are also poisonous to cats and dogs.
Anyone with concerns over the Christmas period can call the animal poison helpline on 01202 509000, or the emergency vet.
