Whilst we are doing pet friendly trick for a treat this Saturday between 4-7pm, here are some tips to keep your pet happy this howloween.
🎃 Keep the Halloween frights fun for everyone, including your pets!
A little preparation can help keep pets and wildlife safe:
🍬 Check the treats. Chocolate and xylitol, found in some sugar-free lollies and chewing gums, are toxic to dogs. Look for xylitol, sweetener (967), birch sugar or E967 on labels. Keep treats and wrappers out of reach.
🏡 Create a quiet retreat. Doorbells, costumes and excited visitors can overwhelm cats and dogs. Keep cats safely indoors and give pets a quiet, secure space with familiar bedding and water. Watch open doors to prevent escapes.
🐾 Let pets skip the dress-up. If your pet freezes, hides or tries to remove a costume, take it off. Their comfort matters more than a photo.
🕸️ Think about wildlife, too. Fake spider webs can entangle native animals. Swap them for paper spiders, painted pumpkins or window stickers, and choose battery-operated candles instead of open flames.
☎️ Suspect your pet has eaten something harmful? Contact your vet immediately. Don’t wait for symptoms, and keep the packaging.
