Hello Darlings!
While it is known for its spooky fun, Halloween can also be
an incredibly stressful time for our four-legged friends. Loud noises, hectic
groups of interestingly dressed children, and tasty-treats-turned-poison can
all be cause for alarm. But if you follow a few guidelines you and your pet can
have a fun, safe holiday!
1. Keep your pets away from all Halloween candy!
2. If you dress up your pets, make sure that their costume
fits well. Costumes should not constrict barking or meowing, or have any parts
that can get caught on furniture etcetera when left alone.
3. Make sure that all decorations are out of reach. Animals
are curious, especially about new things in the house.
4. Keep your animals in a quiet place, away from the hubbub
of the doorbell and trick-or-treaters.
5. Don’t leave pumpkins with candles lit while a pet is in
the room.
If you do decide to bring your pets out with you:
6. Make sure they are microchipped or have a very secure
collar with identification.
7. Add pet-safe illuminators (lights that can’t be tampered
with or reflective tape) to their costumes or leashes and collars.
8. Stay away from alcohol-laden parties. Animals are sneaky,
they can scuttle away and find unattended drinks and get sick.
I hope you and your pets have a very happy and safe
Halloween! Would you add anything to this list? Let me know in the comments
