Your pet may not love Halloween as much as you do. ๐
The doorbell ringing every few minutes. Strangers in costumes. Candy within reach. Decorations everywhere.
For some pets, Halloween can be more stressful than spooky.
Here are a few things to keep in mind before the trick-or-treaters arrive. ๐ป๐พ
Keep candy and treats out of reach. Chocolate, xylitol, candy wrappers and other sweets can cause serious problems if eaten. ๐ฌ๐ซ
Let your pet opt out of the costume. If they seem uncomfortable, stressed or restricted, skip it. Being adorable isnโt worth making them miserable. ๐๐ซ
Be mindful of decorations. Cords, candles, fake spider webs, small decorations and some seasonal plants can all create problems for curious pets. ๐ฏ๏ธ๐ธ๏ธ
The constant doorbell, visitors and coming-and-going can be overwhelming. Make sure collars and ID tags are up to date, and keep pets securely contained when youโre opening the door or heading outside. A calm space gives your pet somewhere to retreat when they need a break.
Halloween doesnโt have to be boring for your pets. Give them their own version of the night with a favourite chew, a special treat, a comfy spot and some peace and quiet. ๐งก๐ค
Have a safe & spooky Howloween! ๐๐ง
