If you’ve got pets then you know that decorating the house at Christmas can be trouble. I mean you’re effectively creating a puppy and pussy fun house with all the tinsel, Christmas baubles, and presents all over the place.

And let’s not even start on the Christmas tree. You’ve likely spent at least a couple of hours searching for the perfect ornaments, then a couple more decorating it and a couple more admiring the final result.
