🧙♀️ 1. Keep Sweets Out of Reach
• Chocolate, xylitol, raisins, and candy wrappers are toxic to dogs and cats.
• Store all treats in sealed containers, high up and out of sight.
• Remind kids (and guests) not to share sweets with pets.
⸻
👻 2. Create a Safe, Quiet Space
• The constant doorbell ringing, costumes, and noise can scare pets.
• Set up a quiet room with their bed, toys, and maybe some calming music.
• If your pet is especially anxious, consider using a pheromone diffuser or calming treats.
⸻
🐾 3. Be Costume Cautious
• Pet costumes should never restrict movement, breathing, or vision.
• Avoid small parts that could be chewed off and swallowed.
• If your pet looks uncomfortable or stressed — skip the costume and go for a festive bandana instead.
⸻
🎃 4. Watch Decorations
• Curious pets may chew on electrical cords, fake cobwebs, or glow sticks — all can be harmful.
• Keep candles and pumpkin out of reach to avoid burns or fire hazards.
⸻
🦴 5. Keep Pets Indoors
• Unfortunately, pranks and mischief can happen on Halloween night.
• Keep pets indoors and safely away from open doors when trick-or-treaters arrive.
• Make sure they’re microchipped and wearing ID tags, just in case they slip out.
⸻
🌙 6. Mind the Walks
• If you walk your dog on Halloween night:
• Go before dark if possible.
• Keep them on a short leash and away from decorations or dropped candy.
• Use reflective gear or a light-up collar for safety.
