Halloween can be a super fun time for kids, adults and pups alike. However, Halloween can also be stressful for some dogs, so here are some quick tips to keep in mind to keep your boo happy and safe this spooky season:
🍫Candy is a big no-go for pets! Chocolate, grapes, raisins, and anything with artificial sweetener xylitol can be deadly to dogs, so keep all of your hard-earned treats up high where they can’t reach and watch the ground if you’re walking!
👻While some dogs love company, with roaming ghouls + goblins coming to the door, it may be best to keep your dog in the house and away from the door. Better yet, set up a table outside to pass out candy so your pup can relax inside uninterrupted. This also vastly minimizes the opportunity of your pup getting spooked and making an escape.
🎃We LOVE a good pet costume as much as the next person so if you decide to dress up your pup make sure they’re wearing a pet-safe costume. Be sure there are no hanging pieces that your pet can chew on, that it fits snugly and securely so it doesn’t get hung on anything, and you’ll want to make sure their costume isn’t too restrictive and become a choking hazard. Alternatively, if they seem miserable in it, perhaps find an alternative such as a fun hat, bandana, or a decorated wagon or pet stroller!
Stay safe and have fun out there friends!
