🎃🐾 Happy, Happy Halloween from all of us at Harrison Animal Hospital! 🧡👻
We hope everyone has a wonderful Halloween filled with lots of fun, laughter, and maybe a few too many sweet treats! 🍬
Before the festivities get into full swing, we wanted to share a few friendly reminders to help keep our four-legged family members safe tonight!
🐾 Give them a little peace and quiet!
Between the doorbells, costumes, trick-or-treaters, and all the excitement, Halloween can be a LOT for our pets. Make sure they have a nice, quiet, safe place to relax and get away from all the commotion. If your pets are hanging out outside with you, just keep an eye on how they’re handling all the extra activity. Some love the attention, and others would much rather be curled up on the couch!
🏷️ Make sure they have identification!
With all the coming and going, it’s especially important to make sure your pet’s microchip information is up to date and they have identification on their collar. And here’s a little tip we love: in a pinch, writing your name and phone number on a piece of duct tape and sticking it to their collar works great! It doesn’t have to be fancy to make a big difference if someone gets loose.
🍫 Keep those sweet treats out of reach!
We all know our dogs have a special talent for finding the things they shouldn’t! Between the kids’ candy bags, bowls of chocolate, and all those delicious snacks around the campfire, there are plenty of opportunities for curious noses to get into trouble. Chocolate, xylitol (found in some sugar-free treats), and even candy wrappers can be dangerous for pets. So let’s keep the candy for the humans and make sure those goodies are safely tucked away!
☎️ If they do get into something, help is available!
If your pet gets into candy or anything else you’re worried about, we highly recommend contacting Pet Poison Helpline at (855) 764-7661 or visiting www.petpoisonhelpline.com. Their wonderful team of veterinary professionals is available 24/7 and has incredible resources to help determine what steps to take next. A consultation fee applies. Don’t wait for symptoms to develop if you suspect your pet has eaten something toxic!
Most of all, we hope everyone has a safe, fun, and memorable Halloween! Enjoy the costumes, the candy, the campfires, and all those adorable little trick-or-treaters! 🎃🧡
We’ll be open tomorrow from 10 AM to 4 PM, as usual!
Happy Halloween, everyone! Give those furry friends a little extra love from all of us! 🐶🐱🧡
