Halloween is full of treats, costumes, and surprises, but it can also bring risks for our furry friends. The American Animal Hospital Association shares great tips to keep your pets safe this spooky season.

Remember:
• Keep candy and chocolate out of reach
• Provide a quiet, secure space away from the door
• Choose pet friendly costumes that are comfy and safe

Pet Tip of the Week
Did you know the average dog understands around 165 words, about the same as a two-year-old child? Some dogs can learn 250 words or more with regular training.

Try this:
• Choose one word, like “ball,” and use it often with the same object
• Keep training sessions short and positive
• Turn it into a game and reward success

Building your dog’s vocabulary keeps their mind sharp and strengthens your bond.
