from Dr. Judy Jasek and the AHA Team 👻🍂🎃
Halloween can be fun for us, but it's not always easy or fun for pets! Doorbell rings, new sounds/ scents, lots of new people, and costumes can feel overwhelming for pets.
Here are some tips for your pets:
🐾 Set-up a safe and quiet place away from the door for your pets
🎵Play calming music, a TV show, or white noise
🐾 Stick to your pet's normal routine
🎃Skip the costume if it causes stress for your pet
🍭 Keep candy out of paws reach!
🐾 Use reflective gear to stay visible during any nighttime walks
How are you celebrating this weekend with your furry friends? We'd love to see pictures of their costumes and Halloween adventures ⬇️📸🐕
