🎃🐾 Halloween Safety Tips for Your Pets! 🐾👻
Halloween is a fun time for us humans, but it can be spooky for our furry friends! Whether you're a proud dog parent, cat lover, or both — here are some vet-approved tips to keep your pets safe and stress-free this Halloween:
🕯️ Keep the Treats Out of Reach
Chocolate, candy, and anything sweetened with xylitol are dangerous for pets. Make sure all goodies are kept away from curious noses!
👻 Costume Caution
Costumes can be adorable, but not every pet loves to dress up. If your dog or cat seems uncomfortable or stressed, it’s best to skip the costume or opt for something simple like a festive bandana.
🚪 Watch the Door
With the doorbell ringing and people in costumes, Halloween night can be overwhelming. Keep your pets in a quiet, secure room to prevent escape or anxiety.
🕸️ Decor Dangers
Pumpkins, candles, and fake cobwebs can be hazardous if chewed or knocked over. Keep decorations pet-friendly and out of reach.
✨ ID is a Must!
If your pet does get spooked and bolts out the door, proper ID (tags and microchips) can help get them home safely.
From all of us at Springwood, have a safe and happy Halloween with your furry family! 🎃🐶🐱
