Halloween often can be a stressful time for your pets.
The noise and commotion of ‘Trick or Treaters”, the different costumes and a disruption in your pet’s daily schedule means that pet guardians need to take special care with their animals when preparing for Halloween festivities.
All pet owners who plan to hand out candy need to be sure that their dog or cat is secure as this is an opportunity for them to escape.
It is very important that all their pets are wearing collars with identification tags.
Is your pet micro chipped? If so, do you know the company and the chip #?
Candy should be kept out of a pet’s reach. Many types of candy, especially chocolate can be harmful to pets.
Jack O’lanterns can be fun and festive, but pet owners need to be careful, since a darting cat or dog can accidentally tip the pumpkins over and create a fire hazard or self-injury.
For pet owners who like to place dogs and cats in costumes, make sure the costume is not restrictive or overly annoying to a pet. Pet owners should also be careful of anything on a costume that dangles so a pet will not choke.
Halloween can be fun, but also dangerous for pets. Remember these helpful safety tips to keep your pets safe.
