Keeping Your Pets Safe This Halloween

Halloween is a fun time filled with candy, costumes, and trick-or-treating. Yet, it can be a stressful holiday for some pets, especially pets who are fearful of strangers, noises, and strange sights. This is why it is important to not to forget about your pets and their safety during all of your Halloween preparations. Some things you should remember are:

Your pets where abouts

It is easy for a cat or a dog to wander off during the Halloween festivities. As the trick-or-treaters are coming and going, the front door is being open a lot. This means that your favorite dog or cat may easily sneak out the door. The solution may sound like a harsh one. Yet, before the festivities begin you may want to put your pet in another room with a closed door, in his/her closed doggie/kittie house, or have him room at a kennel for the night.

Pumpkins are not good for dogs

Yes, pumpkin is all the rage now. It is more than the flavor of the month. It seems to be the flavor that is being seen in anything and everything. Yet, one place it should not been seen is anywhere near your dog. Pumpkin, especially raw pumpkin, is known for making dogs sick.

Costumes and pets a do or a don’t

Yes, we all have to admit that seeing a dog or a cat in a cute costume is adorable. Most of us agree that our little princess deserves to wear a tutu. Yet, not every princess will agree with you.

The real answer to this debate lies in the pet in question. Does the pet really seem to mind the costume? Does he/she look like the attention is worth it?

Finally, make sure that if you do decide to go for the costume to make it a comfortable one. Comfort should even more important that cuteness.

Candy Is Not A Treat For Pets

Give the candy to the trick-or-treaters, not your pet. Dogs and cats should not eat chocolate. Chocolate can be poisonous to them. Sugar free candy is also a no-no when it comes to pets.

If you want to treat your pets, buy dog and cat treats for them.

Halloween should be a time for some spooky fun, some spectacular decorating, and possibly some scary movies. It should not be a time to upset your pet.
