Halloween Safety Tips:

• Ensure your cat is wearing a collar and current ID tag, and that their microchip info is current with the shelter or veterinarian who implanted their chip.
• Keep pets in quiet room with their favorite bed or blanket so they don’t get spooked by the noisy visitors and dart when you're opening your door for trick-or-treaters.
• Keep candy safely away from your pets. Chocolate and cocoa contain theobromine and caffeine, both of which are dangerous for dogs and cats and many candies are sweetened with Xylitol, an artificial sweetener that can lead to hypoglycemia, resulting in seizures and liver failure.
• Be careful with the decorations you choose. Candles and lit jack-o'-lanterns are fire hazards. Dangerous decorations include anything from fake blood, which can be poisonous, string lights or cobwebs that can be a chocking or strangling hazard, to small components of costumes that can be consumed.
• Essential oils are toxic to cats. Keep your kitties far away from them.
