Soaking up all the fall vibes! 🍂🎃
As everyone gets ready for the fun Halloween activities tonight and tomorrow, we want to remind you of a few ways to help keep your furry family members safe and comfortable!
🍬 1. Keep the candy out of reach.
Many Halloween treats are unsafe for pets. Be extra careful if your kids like to keep secret stashes of candy in their bedrooms. Chocolate and other ingredients, including xylitol in some sugar-free treats, can be dangerous for pets.
👻 2. Costumes can be scary!
Masks, hats, and costumes with moving parts can be frightening to some pets. If your furry friend seems stressed, don’t force them to participate in the family photo. Instead, give them a quiet, safe place to relax.
🎃 3. Watch out for too many strangers.
Whether you’re hosting a Halloween party, taking your pet to an event, or handing out candy, there may be lots of new faces around. Pay attention to your pet’s stress signals. Not every pet, especially a new addition to the family, is comfortable meeting lots of people at once.
🐾 4. Be prepared if your pet gets spooked.
Scared pets may try to run or hide. Keep them in a secure location before opening the door, make sure doors and windows are safely secured, and check that your pet has proper identification. A collar with an ID tag and/or a microchip with up-to-date contact information can make all the difference if they get loose.
We hope everyone has a fun, festive, and safe Halloween! 🧡
