Halloween pet safety

Halloween is fun…but sometimes a little scary, especially for our pets!

Fox News has a few tips for you:

Keep the candy away  Chocolate is toxic to both dogs and cats so keep the Halloween candy out of reach…and also make sure your young kids know to not feed the pets candy from their trick-or-treat bag.

Stick to pet-friendly decorations  Some decorations might be a choking hazard for your pets (not to mention your kids) so keep your pet in mind when decorating and always use electric candles instead of real ones just to be safe.

Keep your pets inside after dark  Walk your dog before dark on Halloween to avoid the trick-or-treaters…if you have an outdoor cat (or two!), bring it inside for the night…and be careful not to let your indoor pets escape when you’re opening the door for trick-or-treaters.

DO enter our “HOWL-O-Ween” pet costume contest  It’s the fun thing to do! 😁
