🎃 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.
