Halloween Safety Tips for your Pets

Halloween safety tips for Pets Safety
Don't leave your pet out in the yard on Halloween: There are plenty of stories of pranksters on this night.
Trick-or-treat candies are not for pets: Chocolate is poisonous to a lot of animals. Tin foil and candy wrappers can be hazardous if swallowed.
Be careful of pets around a lit pumpkin: Pets may knock it over and cause a fire. Curious kittens especially run the risk of getting burned.
Don't dress the dog in costume unless you know he loves it. Otherwise, it puts a lot of stress on the animal.
If you do dress up your dog, make sure the costume isn't constricting, annoying or unsafe. Be careful not to obstruct their vision and get your dog used to wearing his/her costume before the actual date of Halloween.
All but the most social dogs should be kept in a separate room during trick-or-treat visiting hours; many strangers in strange garb can be scary for a dog.
Be careful your cat or dog doesn't dart out through the open door.
Walk your dog early in the night, before it gets dark.
Have a fun, safe and Happy Halloween from Halloween is Here!
