Hard to believe, but Halloween approaches! While it’s a fun holiday for us, it can be scary for our pets. All those strangers dressed in weird outfits roaming around, loud noises, sudden surprises— no wonder many pets try to run away from it all. If your pet hates the hubbub, don’t force it on them. Give them a nice quiet space to hide out in, and make sure you can keep them away from open doors. It’s way too easy for them to escape with people coming to the door constantly. Make Halloween safe for your pets!! Here’s a few tips from the American Veterinary Medical Association to help.

If you ever want to make a veterinarian cringe, let them see a dog riding loose in the back of a pickup truck or with its head hanging out of the car window. These situations are accidents waiting to happen. Dogs can easily jump out of the truck bed and get injured or killed by the fall or other cars. If they’re leashed, they can be strangled or dragged behind the vehicle. They can jump out of open windows in a flash, and even if they can’t, road dust and little pebbles can damage their eyes. Crack the windows to get a little fresh air in the car, but don’t risk your pup’s health no matter how much they love hanging their heads outside!

Veterinarians recommend that dogs not stick their heads out the window of moving cars because of the risk of jumping out and flying debris.
