• Keep trash bins secure and out of reach.
• Provide a quiet space for your pet to relax.
• Stick to their routine and ensure fresh water is available.
• Supervise pets around guests and decorations.

Don’ts:

• Never give cooked bones or fatty foods like gravy.
• Don’t let guests feed table scraps.
• Keep alcohol, caffeine, and raw dough out of reach.

🎃 Happy Halloween 🎃

We will be closing early today at 4pm to allow our staff to spend the holiday with their families. We will resume normal business hours tomorrow (11/1/24).

Here are a few tips to keep your furry family safe on this holiday.
1. Keep the candy our of reach:
Some treats are toxic for pets, especially chocolate and sugar-free foods that contain xylitol. If your pet does ingest candy, you can call ASPCA pet poison control at 1-888-426-4435.
2. Watch the front door:
Even the calmest of pets can get overwhelmed by all the excitement from the holiday and trick or treaters. Your pet could easily slip out and run off. Put them in a separate, secure room away from the door until you have finished handing out candy. (Make sure your pets are wearing their ID tags just in case the they slip out)
3. Avoid dangerous decorations:
Some decorations can cause risk to pets, avoid dangling cords or small parts that could be swallowed.

We hope you all have a safe and happy Halloween! 👻
