Happy Howl-o-ween! Please keep these tips in mind so you and your furry friends can have a meow-gical day! 🎃

🍬 Save the candy for the kiddos! Chocolate can cause vomiting, diarrhea, hyperactivity, abnormal heart rhythm and seizures in pets. Xylitol (artificial sweetener) in candy, gum, and mints is toxic to your pet.

👻 Although we love seeing pets in their pawsitively cute costumes, if your pet shows any signs of discomfort or distress, please remove their costume immediately.

🕸️ Make sure your pet is wearing proper identification and/or is microchipped in case he or she does escape. If you decide to take your pet with you on your trick-or-treating adventure, consider adding reflective clothing or items to your pet to increase visibility when dark.
