Please read with Halloween Week Upon Us:

Halloween can be the spookiest night of the year, but keeping your pets safe doesn’t have to be tricky. Our experts at the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC) recommend taking these simple precautions to keep your pets safe, happy and healthy this Halloween.

Stash the Treats
Kids love to hide candy in their rooms, but a dog’s keen sense of smell will lead them to even the most cleverly hidden treasure. Unfortunately, several popular Halloween treats are toxic to pets. Chocolate in all forms—especially dark or baking chocolate—can be very dangerous for cats and dogs, and sugar-free candies containing the sugar substitute xylitol can cause serious problems in pets.

Party Time
Halloween brings a flurry of activity with visitors arriving at the door, and lots of strangers (in creepy costumes, too) can often be scary and stressful for pets. All but the most social dogs and cats should be kept in a separate, comfortable room away from the front door during peak trick-or-treating hours. If you’re unsure of how their pet will do, it's best to be safe rather than sorry!

To distract from a frenzy of trick-or-treaters, or if you’re hosting guests, you can set your cat or dog up away from all the chaos with their favorite toys (such as a delicious chew or food puzzle toy for dogs, and interactive toys for cats). This tactic can soothe energetic pets and those who are anxious around crowds of people or children.

When it comes to party decorations, a carved jack-o-lantern certainly is festive, pets can easily knock over a lit pumpkin and start a fire. Curious kittens are especially at risk of getting burned or singed by candle flame. Also be sure to keep any wires out of paw’s reach!

Be Careful with Costumes
For some pets, wearing a costume may cause undue stress. We recommend that you don’t put your dog or cat in a costume unless you know he or she loves it. If you do dress up your pet for Halloween, make sure the costume does not limit his or her movement, sight or ability to breathe, bark or meow. Check the costume carefully for small, dangling or easily chewed-off pieces that could present a choking hazard. Ill-fitting outfits can get twisted on external objects or your pet, leading to injury, so be sure to have your pet try on the costume before the big night. If he or she seems distressed or shows abnormal behavior, consider letting your pet wear his or her “birthday suit” or don a festive bandana instead.

When it comes to human costumes, accessories are the best way to complete your boo-tiful look, but they are just as appealing to pets. Small toys or costume accessories pose a choking hazard to our four-legged friends and the plastic can be toxic.

Keep Pets Easily Identifiable
Pet IDs can be a lifesaver in finding a lost pet on Halloween—or any day of the year! Tags don’t have to be boring, either. There are plenty of fun, cute and even Halloween-themed pet IDs to pick from. On Halloween, there are a lot more people on the streets and that, combined with strange costumes, can spook pets and cause them to bolt. If you take your pet out after dark, make sure he or she wears a reflective collar, is securely leashed and has proper identification attached.

If you suspect your pet may have ingested a toxic substance, please contact your veterinarian or call the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435 immediately.

🌟 Welcome Dr. Amie Roberts to our team! 🌟

Amie Roberts, originally from Waterloo, graduated from Iowa State University with a degree in Biology and International Studies in 2009. She started her career in emergency veterinary medicine in 2010 and graduated from ISU College of Veterinary Medicine in 2015. She made the transition back to general practice, joining Frey in 2024. She received her Veterinary Human Support Certification in 2024 and is active in our state veterinary medical association. She also serves as the director of a local non-profit organization, travels, and her young family keeps her busy!

We are so excited to have her! She already fits right in and is an amazing addition to the Frey Pet Hospital family.

Acorns are poisonous to dogs if eaten. They can cause vomiting and diarrhea, and because they are hard and sometimes spikey, they can cause damage or a blockage in the stomach. In rare cases it has led to liver and kidney failure, so it's important to be aware of your surroundings when walking your dog. Stay Safe friends!🐾❤

Treating your pets as our very own

Frey Pet Hospital (FPH) has been serving Cedar Rapids and the surrounding communities for over sixty years. A passion for the finest in veterinary medicine and sincere commitment to our community has allowed us this continued growth. Our outstanding reputation is known to draw clients and referrals from over 90 miles away.

FPH understands how meaningful our patients are to our clients. It is imperative to FPH to be a partner in our patients’ lifelong journey by providing outstanding wellness care. Maintaining American Animal Hospital Association member status since 1975 demonstrates our commitment to being our community’s first choice for high quality veterinary care. As veterinary medicine advances, FPH continues to strive for excellence.

In 2011, we built a state-of-the art facility to reflect the high level of care we provide. In 2012, Frey Pet Hospital was awarded the National Merit Award for Hospital Design in Veterinary Economics. With the patients in mind, the building was constructed to provide a stress-free visit with various amenities, including independent cat and dog waiting areas. Individualized wards provide more comfort to our feline and canine patients. Zone-specific ventilation systems ensure that infectious disease will not be aerosolized to other areas within the hospital. A separate ICU/Recovery area allows for close monitoring of our patients following specialized procedures. A reflective garden and comfort room provide our clients with peaceful surroundings during difficult times.
