🎃 Halloween Safety for Your Dogs 🎃
Halloween can be an exciting night, but it also comes with a few extra hazards for our dogs. Here are a few reminders to help keep your pups safe:
- Keep dogs safely indoors and away from the front door when trick-or-treaters are coming and going. An open door is an easy escape opportunity!
- Keep all Halloween candy, especially chocolate and anything containing xylitol, well out of reach.
- Be mindful of costumes. If your dog is dressing up, make sure their costume is comfortable and doesn't restrict movement, breathing or vision.
- Keep dogs away from glow sticks, decorations, candles and electrical cords.
- Consider skipping the trick-or-treating walk. Unfamiliar costumes, excited children and extra activity can be overwhelming for some dogs.
- Make sure your dog has proper identification in case they do manage to slip out.
A quiet, comfortable space away from the Halloween excitement is often the best treat you can give your dog!
Have a safe and happy Halloween! 🎃
