Happy Halloween? For Pets, It Can Be With A Little Practice

For dogs who do join trick or treaters, here are some safety tips:

Keep your dog on a leash. A retractable leash is not recommended because trick or treaters can trip over the extended leash, especially in the dark.
If your dog shows any signs of fear, anxiety, or stress, trick or treating may not be your dog’s bag. Barking (when your dog typically might not bark), lunging on the leash, a tucked tail, and persistent yawning are all among the signs to watch for. Much more can be found in the book, “From Fearful to Fear Free: A Positive Program to Free Your Dog from Anxiety, Fears and Phobias,” by Dr. Marty Becker, Dr. Lisa Radosta, Dr. Walliani Sung, and Mikkel Becker.
Check the bag. These days, people even offer dogs trick or treat goodies. Remember a 20-pound dog should only have so many biscuits, just as an 8-year-old child should have only so much candy. If you have any doubts about a treat, toss it.

Benefits of a healthy weight;
"Keeping your pet at a healthy weight lowers their risk of certain health problems like arthritis, diabetes, high blood pressure, breathing problems, back problems, kidney disease, and some forms of cancer. It also can reduce your pet’s risk of joint injuries associated with excess weight. And if your pet has arthritis, maintaining a healthy weight can make it easier to manage any associated pain or discomfort.

On the other hand, excess weight can increase your pet’s risk of issues during anesthesia, reduce their life expectancy, and impair their quality of life. For these and other reasons, keeping your pet trim gives them the best chance of a longer, healthier, and pain-free life."
