There are two kinds of Halloween energy… 🎃👻
Stella: A polite little stroll through spooky season. 💅
Tiller: FULL SPEED, PROVIDING HER OWN BACKUP VOCALS. 🎤😂
Whether you’re Stella or Tiller speed, please be safe when trick-or-treating! 🐾
Halloween brings costumes, unfamiliar noises, excited kids, and a whole lot of doorbell action. That can be a big night for your dog—even if they usually take things in stride.
🎃 Let your dog set the pace. Some dogs enjoy an outing. Others would much prefer a quiet room and something to chew while the neighborhood goblins make their rounds. Staying home is a perfectly good plan.
🦮 Keep your dog leashed and give others space. Skip retractable leashes in busy crowds, and don’t assume every dog—or every tiny dinosaur—wants to say hello.
🚪 Have a front-door plan. A secure gate, crate, or separate room can help prevent an unexpected escape when you’re handing out candy. Check that your dog’s ID is on, too!
🍬 Keep the treats for the humans out of reach. Candy bags, wrappers, and dropped goodies don’t belong on your dog’s Halloween menu.
👻 Watch the dog inside the costume. If they’re freezing, backing away, or trying to leave, help them get some space. They don’t need to greet the inflatable T. rex to have a successful evening.
Practice those leash manners, “leave it,” and place skills before the spooky parade starts—and choose a plan your dog can handle.
From polite little pumpkins to full-throttle werewolves…have a safe and happy Halloween! 🧡🖤
