As Halloween arrives the witches, goblins and ghosts do too and youâre not the only one that could be in for a fright! The spookiest night of the year can cause trouble for your pets so here are some halloween safety tips Iâve pawed up to help keep them safe.
No tricks, no treats â Trick-or-treaters arenât the only ones begging for Halloween candy. So donât let this ghoulish night be ruined, remember that chocolate is toxic for both dogs and cats, and tin foil and cellophane candy wrappers can be hazardous if we swallow them so please put treats out of our reach. Try making your very own homemade "goody bagsâ with these scrumptious dog friendly biscuits that we are drooling over!
Beware of wires and cords -Â if youâre hanging decorations and electrical lights keep the cords out of reach. If chewed, we might suffer cuts, burns, or receive an electrical shock that could be life threatening.
Dress-up can be a mess-up -Â Even though your human may think itâs âadorably cuteâ some pooches and felines prefer wearing their âbirthday suitsâ and anything else can cause them stress. So please donât dress us up unless you know we love it. If you are dressing up Fido and Fluffy make sure it doesnât constrict their movement, breathing, sight or hearing.
Constant door opening -Â When opening the door for trick-or-treaters, take care that we donât dart outside. Keep a leash by the door so you can clip it to us before opening the door and make sure we have our collars and tags on just in case.
Loud noises -Â if you know your pooch gets anxious or nervous with loud noises keep them in a separate room away from the front door. Too many strangers in costume can be overwhelming and stressful.
