Murphy aka the Bark Knight is here with some pet safety tips so that you and your pup have a spooktakular Howloween!
- Don’t feed pets Halloween treats. Raisins can cause your pet’s kidneys to fail, and candy may contain substances toxic to pets, such as chocolate or xylitol (a common sugar substitute found in sugar-free candies and gum).
- Make sure your pets have identification (microchip, collar, and ID tag) that will make it easy for someone to contact you and return them home in case they get lost.
- Keep lit candles, jack-o-lanterns, and other Halloween decorations out of reach.
- Keep all human costume pieces away from pets, along with glow sticks, decorations, batteries, and other holiday items.
- If you plan to put a costume on your pet, make sure it fits properly. Never leave a costumed pet unsupervised.
- If your pet is wary of strangers or has a tendency to bite, put them in a room away from the front door during trick-or-treating hours, or provide them with a safe hiding place.
