Halloween Pet Safety Tips from Animal Samaritans:
Halloween is full of tricks and treats, but it can also be a spooky time for our furry friends. Each year, shelters across the country report a rise in lost pets around Halloweenโmany scared by costumes, noises, or constant doorbell rings.
Thousands of pets go missing every year, but these simple tips can help your pet stay safe this Halloween.
๐ Keep candy awayโchocolate and xylitol are toxic.
๐ Bring pets indoors and place them in a quiet, secure room so they donโt escape during trick-or-treating.
๐ Make sure ID tags and microchip information are up to date.
๐ Keep candles, cords, and dรฉcor safely out of reach.
Letโs keep Halloween fun and safe for all creatures great and small.
