October 27 is widely observed as the Day of the Dead (Día de los Mu***os) for pets, a dedicated time to welcome back and honor the spirits of deceased animal companions.

What is October 27 for Pets?
• Timing: It marks the start of the Día de los Mu***os cycle, with pet spirits believed to return on the night of October 27 and stay until the morning of October 28.
• Origin: While traditional Día de los Mu***os focuses on humans on November 1 and 2, honoring pets on October 27 is a newer, popular expansion. It is also rooted in ancient Mesoamerican beliefs where dogs like the Xoloitzcuintle guided souls through the underworld.
• Community Consensus: Most pet owners and participants on platforms like Reddit agree that creating a dedicated space brings meaningful comfort after pet loss.

How to Honor Your Pet on October 27
• Build an Ofrenda (Altar): Set up a small table, shelf, or platform dedicated to your pet.
• Include Traditional Items:
• Photograph: A picture of your dog, cat, or companion to guide their spirit home.
• Candles: White or yellow candles to light their path in the dark.
• Marigolds (Cempasúchil): Bright orange flowers whose vibrant color and scent are thought to draw spirits back.
• Food and Water: A bowl of fresh water for their journey and their favorite treats, kibble, or snacks.
• Mementos: Their favorite toys, collar, leash, or tag.
• Acts of Remembrance: Share old photos, take a quiet walk where you used to go together, or make a donation to a local animal shelter or rescue in their memory

Not every cat will find a cozy home, a full bowl, or someone to call their own. While we may not have the ability to care for every stray, we can choose to leave them in peace rather than adding to their struggles. A frightened cat deserves patience, a hungry one deserves compassion, and every cat deserves to exist without being mistreated. Sometimes, respecting an animal's space and choosing gentleness is a meaningful act of kindness.

With wildfire smoke affecting air quality across our region, it's important to remember that our animal companions are breathing the same air we are.

Smoke and fine particles can irritate their eyes and airways and may be especially dangerous for young, senior, or animal companions with heart or respiratory conditions.

Here are a few simple ways to help keep your animal companions safe during this time:

Limit outdoor time. Keep walks short and avoid strenuous exercise until air quality improves. Consider indoor enrichment instead of long walks or trips to the dog park.

Keep animal companions indoors as much as possible. Close windows and doors and, if available, use air conditioning or an air purifier to help improve indoor air quality.

Provide plenty of fresh water. Staying hydrated helps support your animal companion's overall health.

Watch for signs of smoke irritation, including:

➡️ Coughing or gagging
➡️ Sneezing or wheezing
➡️ Difficulty breathing or rapid breathing
➡️ Eye redness or discharge
➡️ Lethargy or unusual tiredness

If your animal companion shows any of these signs, move them into a cleaner indoor environment and contact your veterinarian for advice. If they are having significant difficulty breathing, seek veterinary care immediately.

Some animal companions are at greater risk, including:

➡️ Flat-faced (brachycephalic) breeds such as Bulldogs, Pugs, and Persian cats
➡️ Puppies and kittens
➡️ Senior animal companions
➡️ Animal companions with asthma, heart disease, or other respiratory conditions

Be safe out there. 💙

Warmer weather means LEAVING YOUR PET at home. Even with the windows ‘cracked’ your vehicle interior can quickly become overheated. Check these facts:

“The fastest temperature rise happens in the first 10 to 30 minutes, and objects like dashboards and seats get significantly hotter than the surrounding air.”
