The warning comes after two dogs tragically died last year after eating the deadly Christmas decoration.
Nanci explained: “A big one is snow globes. Dog owners really need to be wary if they have them in the house.
“Snow globes are actually filled with anti-freeze which is absolutely deadly to dogs.
“It kills dogs very quickly, but it also tastes very nice to dogs.

“It's a big hidden danger. It's so important if you’re a first-time dog owner that you do all of your research of what is toxic to dogs before you decorate your home.
“You might not realise how toxic things like fruitcake can be - or even just things like garlic and onions.
“There are going to be risks - from electric wires that dogs can chew on to gifts being left underneath the tree. It's just so important.”
ANTI-FREEZE DEATH
It comes after a dog trainer lost two of her pooches last Christmas after they lapped up a poisonous liquid from a snow globe.

Caroline Osbourn's two dogs, Milo, a 17-week-old Labrador, and Lexi, a seven-year-old rescue dog are believed to have died from drinking anti-freeze.
The 46-year-old claimed she heard a crash from her kitchen and when she rushed into the room her dogs were licking the liquid from a snow globe.
As she cleaned up the mess, she noticed the clear fluid felt both oily and sticky.
A quick search online said the spherical trinkets often contain anti-freeze.
According to dog welfare group The Kennel Club, anti-freeze is extremely poisonous to dogs and can cause brain, lung and kidney damage.
The group said the liquid can taste sweet making it 'irresistible'.
Caroline urged all dog owners to bin their snow globes to avoid their own animals facing a similar heartbreaking fate.
Caroline said: "I had no idea [snow globes] had antifreeze in them."
"That snow globe was 15-years-old and nothing had ever happened with it before.
"I wouldn't have had it in the house - We've got another snow globe too but I've binned that now and I urge others to do the same."
"Please if you have any snow globes be careful with them, I would not wish this on my worst enemy."
So pooches don't feel too left out over the festive period, Dogs Trust have came up with a recipe using leftovers from your Christmas dinner to make the perfect pies instead.
Simply save some plain chicken or turkey - making sure there are no bones - grab some leftover veg, add a sprinkling of cheddar cheese and cram it into your pastry.
But Brits have to be on the ball with their pet's eating habits all year round too.
