                                            Bring back our 7 tips to keep your pets safe this Halloween 🎃👻
1. KEEP COLLARS AND ID TAGS ON AT ALL TIMES. Accidents can happen. Making sure your pets have their collars and id tags on can help your pet come home if they were to get out. 
2. UTILIZE A BARRIER. Put up a gate or baby gate at the front door, put your dog on leash or use a tether so your dog doesn’t bolt when trick or treaters arrive. 
3. KEEP YOUR CATS INSIDE! Bring your outdoor cats inside. Unfortunately, some people will cause harm to small animals on Halloween. You might think it won’t happen to you, but keep your cats inside just to be safe! 
4. CREATE A SAFE SPACE FOR YOUR CATS. Keep your cats in a bedroom with the door shut. Make sure they have a litter box, water, a soft place to sleep and some soothing music to help them stay calm through the chaos and prevent them from running out the front door. 
5. MEET YOUR DOG WHERE THEY’RE AT. If your dog is fearful of strangers or reactive at the door, Halloween can be extremely stressful for them. Choosing to not participate can ease so much stress and anxiety. Keep your porch light off so people know you don’t have candy. Or, leave a bowl of candy on your porch and put a sign on your door asking people not to knock. “Fearful dog inside, please don’t knock but help yourself to a piece of candy!” Or make it fun, “Beware of the monsters inside! Quietly take some candy but make a peep and see some teeth.” 
6. KEEP HALLOWEEN CANDY OUT OF YOUR PETS REACH! Candy can be deadly to pets. Know where the closest emergency vet office is and keep candy away from your pets. 
7. DONT FORCE YOUR PETS INTO A COSTUME. Some pets don’t mind being dressed up but others get very nervous. Remember that anxious pets are more likely to bite. Prevent a  bite by just saying no to the costume.
