🎃 Halloween lands on a Saturday this year, which means more parties, more trick-or-treaters, and plenty of doorbell rings!

Keep your pet’s night more treat than trick with a few quick reminders:

🍫 Keep candy out of reach. Chocolate and xylitol are toxic to pets, so place the candy bowl where curious paws and noses can’t reach it.

👻Costume with comfort in mind. Make sure your pet can move, see, and breathe easily.

🚪 Create a calm space. Give your pet a quiet spot away from the door, doorbells, and trick-or-treaters.

If your pet needs urgent care after our regular hours this Halloween, our partner UrgentVet is here to help.

💻 Find a location or save your spot online at https://urgentvet.com/locations/.

Have a safe and happy Halloween! 👻🐾
