Halloween is full of fun, costumes, candy, and lots of doorbell ringing! All that excitement can create some extra challenges for our pups. Here are some tips to help keep everyone safe this Halloween!
🐾 Doorbell Dashers: If your dog is a runner or gets overly excited when the doorbell rings, keep them on a leash or behind a secure gate when handing out candy. One open door is all it takes for an unexpected escape!
🍬 Practice “Leave It”: Dropped candy is tempting, but many Halloween treats are dangerous for dogs. A solid “leave it” can be a lifesaver when candy hits the floor!
🚪 Give Them a Safe Space: Constant doorbell ringing and strangers in costumes can be overwhelming. Set up a quiet, comfortable space where your dog can relax away from the Halloween chaos.
🦴 Keep the Treats Dog-Friendly: Make sure your pups have their own special treats so they don’t feel left out of all the festivities!
🎭 Costume Caution: If your dog is dressing up, make sure their costume fits comfortably, doesn’t restrict movement, and doesn’t have pieces they can chew or swallow.
A little preparation and a few well-practiced commands can make a BIG difference!

From all of us at Sasquatch Dogs, have a safe, happy Howloween! 🖤
