🎃🐾 SPOOKY SEASON IS HERE — KEEP YOUR PETS SAFE THIS HALLOWEEN!
Halloween is full of costumes, candy, and spooky fun, but some of our favorite traditions can be scary or even dangerous for our furry family members! 👻🐶🐱
The Bryan Animal Center wants to help you and your pets have a happy, safe, and fright-free Halloween! 🧡
🧡 🎃 HALLOWEEN TRICKS TO AVOID:
❌ Glow sticks: Chewing on them can cause irritation and excessive drooling.
❌ Small plastic toys and decorations: These can be choking hazards or cause intestinal blockages if swallowed.
❌ Candy and chocolate: Many treats are dangerous for pets. Sugar-free candy containing xylitol is especially toxic.
💚 🐾 HALLOWEEN TREATS TO REMEMBER:
✅ Pet-safe treats: Keep the candy bowl for trick-or-treaters and offer your pets treats made just for them!
✅ Updated pet ID: Make sure your pet's collar tags and microchip information are current in case they slip out the door.
✅ Safe costumes: Choose comfortable costumes without restrictive headpieces, loose dangling parts, or anything that affects breathing, vision, or movement. Always supervise your pet.
👻 A FEW EXTRA SPOOKY-SEASON TIPS:
🏡 Keep pets in a quiet, secure room while trick-or-treaters are visiting.
🚪 Be mindful of open doors and gates to prevent escapes.
🎃 Keep candles, cords, and decorations out of reach.
🐕 Never force your pet to wear a costume or participate if they're uncomfortable.
❤️ A little prevention goes a long way! We want every member of your family—two-legged and four-legged—to enjoy a safe Halloween.
From all of us at the Bryan Animal Center, have a happy HOWL-o-ween! 🐶🧡🐱🎃
