The plastic is non-toxic, so you don&#8217;t have to worry if your cat decides to take a nibble. Plus, it won&#8217;t warp if exposed to moisture or fade in sunlight; it should last you for many years. But all this would be moot if it were a hassle to put together. We&#8217;re pleased to report that all you need to do is snap each section in place. No tools are required. What&#8217;s more, you can change the shape as needed or even add another fence to it if you have a larger tree.

The tree collar nails the farmhouse aesthetic with its rustic design that looks like something right out of a magazine.

If that&#8217;s something you deal with, Amgate&#8217;s plastic tree guard may be a great place to start. Each pack comes with six pieces that you can customize to fit your tree&#8217;s circumference. And while the thick plastic will keep out the claws, the guard features several slits so that your trunk receives proper air circulation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Pros:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li2\">They&#8217;re thick but flexible and easy to wrap around all trunk sizes.

If they see a new tree standing in the living room, they&#8217;re going to want to check it out. Aside from purchasing a tree guard, you may also want to consider trading your real tree for a fake one. Pine trees, in particular, can be a serious problem if your cat ingests its needles. If you&#8217;re determined to have a real tree, be vigilant in cleaning excess pine needles and cover the tree&#8217;s water bowl so your cat won&#8217;t take a drink.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is a tree collar better than a tree fence?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It depends on what look you&#8217;re going for, but we think both do an equally good job protecting your tree.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What to Look For In our research, we found that the best tree guards for cats are durable, user-friendly, and of course, aesthetically pleasing.
