🎃 Happy Halloween from your friends at Equi-Tech Veterinary! 👻
Halloween is full of spooky fun — but it can also bring scary surprises for pets. Keep your furry friends safe from fright and harm this season!
Please share a photo of your pet’s costume in the comments below!

🧙‍♀️ Spooky Hazards to Watch For
• Costumes & decor: Strings, ribbons, and small accessories can cause choking or intestinal blockages if chewed or swallowed.
• Door dashes: Trick‑or‑treaters mean constant door openings — pets can slip out unnoticed. Keep them in a quiet room away from the commotion.
• Noise & strangers: Doorbells, masks, and loud voices can cause stress or anxiety. Provide a calm space with familiar toys and water.

🍬 Toxic Treats
• Chocolate and xylitol‑sweetened candies are highly toxic to dogs and cats.
• Raisins can cause kidney failure in dogs.
• Candy wrappers and sticks can lead to choking or digestive injury.
• Glow sticks and costume makeup can irritate mouths and skin if chewed.

🧡 Tip: Keep candy bowls, decorations, and candles out of reach — and remind guests not to share treats with pets.

🦃 Thanksgiving Safety Tips for Pet Owners

Thanksgiving brings great food, cozy gatherings, and festive décor — but it also brings seasonal hazards that can put pets at risk. Here’s what to keep in mind to keep your animals safe this holiday.

🍽️ Food Hazards to Watch For
Many classic Thanksgiving dishes aren’t pet‑friendly:
• Poultry bones (such as turkey or chicken) can splinter and cause choking or internal injury.
• Poultry skin, gravy, and fatty foods can trigger pancreatitis, a painful and potentially life‑threatening inflammation of the pancreas. Even small amounts of high‑fat foods can cause vomiting, abdominal pain, lethargy, and loss of appetite.
• Table scraps your pet’s stomach isn’t used to — even “safe” foods — can cause GI upset, leading to vomiting, diarrhea, gas, or discomfort.
• Onions, garlic, leeks, and chives (common in stuffing and sides) are toxic to pets.
• Grapes and raisins can cause kidney failure in dogs.
• Chocolate and xylitol‑sweetened desserts/candy are highly toxic.
• Raw bread dough can expand in the stomach and produce alcohol, causing dangerous bloating.
Safe alternatives: Plain cooked poultry meat, carrots, green beans, or pumpkin — no seasoning, no skin, no bones.

🚪 Guests, Doors & Holiday Chaos
With people coming and going, pets may become stressed or slip out unnoticed.
• Increased noise and unfamiliar faces can cause anxiety.
• Open doors create opportunities for accidental escapes.

Tip: 👉 Set up a quiet room with their bed, water, and toys. Use gates or closed doors to prevent dashing.

🎁 Decor & Household Hazards
Holiday décor can be tempting — and risky.
• Lit candles can be knocked over.
• Electrical cords may be chewed.
• Festive plants like chrysanthemums, holly, and poinsettias can be toxic.

Tip: 👉 Choose flameless candles and keep décor out of reach.

🗑️ Trash Trouble
Poultry carcasses, bones, wrappers, and food scraps in the garbage are irresistible to pets. Tip: Use a secure, locking‑lid trash can and empty it frequently.

❤️ A Safe & Happy Holiday
With a little preparation, you can enjoy a warm Thanksgiving while keeping your pets safe from seasonal hazards. If you’re ever unsure whether something is safe for your pet, we’re here to help.
