Great reminder
BUT
Even more important some pets will find costumes frightening. So protect their emotional wellness too. Place them somewhere quiet and away if needed.
🎃👻 Lets make it a HAPPY HALLOWEEN & Keep Our Pets & Wildlife Safe! 🐾🦇**
As trick-or-treating takes over our suburbs tomorrow, ACT Pet Crisis Support reminds everyone to make safe choices for our beloved pets, our neighbours’ pets and the wildlife around us. 🐶🐱🦔
Halloween is full of spooky fun, but some treats and decorations can pose serious risks!
🕯️ Beware of candles – Flames and hot wax can cause burns, and some scented candles may be harmful to pets.
👀 Keep decorations out of reach – Small items like rubber eyeballs and novelty toys can become choking hazards if chewed or swallowed.
✨ Take care with glow sticks – If bitten or snapped, they can release irritating or potentially harmful liquid. Keep them away from curious paws and mouths.
🕸️ Skip the fake cobwebs outdoors – Synthetic cobwebs can entangle birds and other wildlife, causing serious injuries. Keep nature spooky without putting wildlife at risk!
🍫🍬 Secure the Halloween treats – Chocolate and many lollies can be toxic to pets. Keep all goodies safely stored where curious noses and paws can’t reach them.
❤️ Let’s make sure Halloween is full of tricks, treats and happy tails - without any scary emergencies!
Have a safe and happy Halloween from everyone at ACT Pet Crisis Support! 🧡🐾
