🎃 Happy Halloween from Caringbah Vet! 🎃
We hope you and your furry friends have a spooky, safe and spectacular Halloween!
With all the excitement of trick-or-treaters, lollies and decorations, here are a few things to keep in mind to help keep our pets safe:
🐾 Prevent escapes: Keep doors and gates secure when trick-or-treaters arrive. Consider using baby gates or keeping your dog in a quiet room away from the front door.
🐾 Scared of visitors? If your pet is anxious around strangers or the doorbell, consider putting up a sign asking visitors not to knock or ring the bell.
🐾 Keep lollies out of reach: Chocolate is toxic to dogs, and some sugar-free lollies contain xylitol, an artificial sweetener that can cause dangerously low blood sugar and potentially life-threatening complications.
🐾 Watch those decorations: Curious pets may chew or swallow Halloween toys, decorations or wrappers. These can pose choking hazards or cause intestinal blockages.
A little preparation can go a long way in keeping Halloween enjoyable for everyone!
