Pets Halloween safety ๐งก๐พ๐ค
๐Put your candy in a safe place.
Chocolate and some artificial sweeteners can be deadly for pets.
Always make sure to keep your pet treats separate from the human treats.
๐Keep them on a leash
If your dog is joining your family trick-or-treating, itโs important to keep them close, itโs not the same as an everyday walk.
๐Make sure they have up-to-date ID tags on their collar. When dogs are scared they tend to run. (Cats tend to hide & may even get into tight places to feel safe)
๐Consider their anxiety with the doorbell or knocking.
If your dog gets anxiety about the doorbell ringing and the door opening and closing, put them in their secure, safe space away from the door. Give them their favorite pillow, blanket or toy, or an enrichment game, kong, or other treat toy. Maybe play some soft spa music or just the TV on in the room with them.
(Some pets may not normally be anxious from the doorbell or knocking, but with it happening over and over, or with the kids in costumes behind the door yelling trick-or-treatโฆ They may become a little more anxious than normal - so just be aware) ๏ฟผ
๐Careful with pet costumes, they may look cute but could be uncomfortable, tight, pinching or constricting their sight, or breathing.
