Mardigan would like to wish everyone a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
And secondly, a very HAPPY CATURDAY!
But before you head out for a night of tricks and treats, Mardigan has a few important public service announcements to share!
Keep the candy out of paw's reach! Chocolate, xylitol (found in some sugar-free treats), and other candies can be dangerous for pets.
Be mindful of decorations. Keep lit candles, glow sticks, fake spiderwebs, and small decorations away from curious paws and mouths.
Watch those doors! With trick-or-treaters coming and going, make sure your pets stay safely indoors and can't sneak out in the Halloween excitement.
Costumes are optional! If your pet isn't a fan of dressing up, don't force it. Their comfort always comes first!
Create a safe space. The doorbell, strangers, and spooky noises can be stressful. Give your pets a quiet place to relax away from the festivities.
Have a safe and spooky Halloween from all of us at Columbia Veterinary Center! And remember, Mardigan says the only thing scarier than ghosts is an emergency vet visit after eating the Halloween candy. 😹🎃
