Top 5 Halloween Pet Safety Tips:
Keep ๐ซCANDY๐ฌ Out of Reach - Pets have a keen sense of smell and can sniff out any candy stash. Some treats can be toxic for them, especially chocolate and sugar-free candy containing xylitol.
Keep Pets Indoors & Away from the Door - Avoid potential escapes by keeping your pet in a familiar room with their favorite toys, treats, and some calming music.
Identification is Key - In case your pet gets out, ensure they have proper ID, like a collar with a tag or, even better, a microchip.
Be Cautious with Costumes - If your pet is in costume, never leave them unattended. Make sure the costume is comfortable, free from dangling pieces, and doesnโt restrict their movement, breathing, or ability to bark/meow.
Ditch the Doorbell - Repeated knocks or doorbell rings can cause stress. Consider setting up a candy station in your car trunk or handing out treats on your porch.
