Love this! Keep your pets safe this season!
Halloween is just around the corner! It is important to remember that Halloween can be lots of fun, but sometimes it's stressful for our pets. 🎃👻
Here are some Halloween Do's & Don'ts for our canine friends. 🐶
Do make sure your dog is microchipped with up-to-date information, wearing a collar and ID tag and keep them indoors on Halloween.
Don't feed pets Halloween treats! Sugars and fats can cause more than an upset stomach, some are poisonous to dogs like those containing raisins, chocolate, and candies containing xylitol (a common sugar substitute).
Do keep your dog in a safe space in a room of your home away from the front door and trick-or-treaters if they are nervous around strangers, loud noises, or doorbells. Offer enrichment items such as long-lasting chews, puzzle toys, or lickable silicone mats if they require confinement.
Don't allow access to Halloween decorations such as jack-o-lanterns, glow sticks, costume parts or other decorations that may present a hazard if chewed on.
Do make sure to allow your dog time to get comfortable wearing a Halloween costume if you chose to have them wear one. It should fit properly and not have any pieces they can easily chew off or block their eyes, ears, mouth or movement.
