🎃 Keep Halloween safe for your pets! 🐾
Halloween can be fun for the whole family, but a few simple precautions can help keep our furry friends safe:
✅ Keep pets in a quiet, comfortable room away from the front door and trick-or-treaters.
✅ Make sure collars and ID tags are secure and microchip information is up to date.
✅ Choose pet-safe treats and keep decorations, cords and candles out of reach.
✅ If your pet enjoys a costume, make sure it fits comfortably and doesn’t restrict movement, vision or breathing.
🚫 Keep candy and wrappers away from pets. Chocolate and products containing xylitol can be especially dangerous.
🚫 Don’t force a costume on a pet who seems uncomfortable or stressed.
🚨 If your pet eats candy or something potentially harmful, contact your veterinarian or an emergency veterinary clinic right away. Don’t wait for symptoms.
Wishing you and your pets a happy, safe Halloween!
