Pet Safety Tips for Halloween

While this is a fun time for people and pets, your pets are depend on you to keep them safe from the dangerous goblins that Halloween brings.

 

·         Don’t leave your pet outside for several days prior to, and after, Halloween. Your pet may be at risk from pranks or cruelty related incidents.  

·         Make sure your dog or cat is wearing proper identification. If they escape and become lost, a collar, tags and/or microchip increase the chances that they will be returned to you.

·         Candy is not for pets. Chocolate is toxic to many animals. Candy wrappers can be hazardous if swallowed.

·         Be careful with your pets and candles. Pets may knock a candle over and cause a fire, or get their hair singed.

·         Loud and excessive noise from trick-or-treaters can frighten pets.  Keep pets who are sensitive to noises, easily threatened by strangers, or are easily excitable away from the door in order to prevent them from biting strangers, or running into the street.

·         If you dress your pet in a costume, make sure the costume doesn’t constrict the animal’s movement, block their vision, hearing, or ability to breathe. Avoid dangling, small, items that your pet could chew, swallow or choke on.
