Halloween is here! 🎃 But let’s make sure it’s all treats and no tricks for our furry friends. Check out these Halloween safety tips!

🎃 Halloween Safety Tips for Your Dog 🎃

As we get ready for spooky costumes and candy-filled nights, let’s make sure our furry friends stay safe and comfortable! Here are some Halloween dos and don’ts to keep your dog calm and out of harm's way:

DO: 🐾 Create a Safe Space – Keep your dog in a quiet room or behind a baby gate to avoid the constant doorbell and scary costumes. This helps them stay relaxed and keeps escape attempts at bay!

🐾 Mind the Treats – Chocolate, candy, and sugar substitutes like xylitol are toxic to dogs. Keep all treats out of reach and offer them dog-safe goodies instead.

🐾 Give Them Their Own Treats – A new chew or favorite toy can keep them distracted and entertained while the festivities happen.

🐾 Use Reflective Gear – If you're taking your dog out in costume, make sure they have reflective gear to stay visible, especially if you're out after dark.

DON'T: 🚫 Don’t Force Costumes – Costumes can be uncomfortable or frightening. Make sure any outfit fits well, doesn’t restrict movement or vision, and is easy to remove if they’re not happy with it.

🚫 Avoid Scary Surprises – Masks, capes, and wigs might seem fun to us but can spook dogs. Approach slowly in costume, and don’t let children run up unexpectedly.

🚫 Don’t Leave Decorations Unattended – Curious pups might chew on or knock over candles, light cords, or small decorations. Keep things out of reach and use battery-powered lights if possible.

Let’s make Halloween fun and safe for everyone! 🐶💀🍬

One of my favourite things to see is when people give their dogs as much time as they want to sniff. Smell is the primary sense our dogs use to navigate, interpret, and make sense of their world. They can tell who has passed by and how long ago, and update themselves on their canine version of social media picking up the messages left by other dogs who have been there earlier.

The part of the dog's brain that is dedicated to analysing scent information is a huge proportion of their brain compared to ours (around 40 times the size), and they have up to 300 million scent receptors while humans have around 6 million. These facts alone highlight the importance of olfactory information and sniffing for our dogs.

Sniffing is one of the most instinctive and natural behaviours our dogs possess and giving them time to sniff is a free and incredibly easy way to add enrichment into their lives. Sniffing is also great brainwork as they hunt out and interpret the differents scents they encounter.

A 20 minute period spent out of the house sniffing and interpreting the scents they discover (a sniffy walk or 'sniffari') can often tire a dog out as much as an hour's 'normal' walk, and is also really good for younger dogs (post-vaccination or in safe areas where dogs of unknown vaccination and health status don't go) and senior dogs who aren't quite as mobile and fit as they used to be.

The more time I spend watching my dogs investigating and interpreting their world through their noses the more fascinated I become by observing them, and the more clearly I can see how much enjoyment and pleasure they get from having time to carry out this most doggy of behaviours.

So let them sniff - they will appreciate you even more for giving them the time and opportunity.

Are you planning a trip and unsure what to do with your pets? 🐶🐤 While boarding facilities work for some, hiring a pet sitter might be a better option! Animals are more comfortable in their familiar environment. A pet sitter provides a calm, quiet setting and ensures your pet sticks to their regular routine, keeping them happier and healthier. Your pet deserves the best care—even when you're not home! 🐾❤️
