Top 5 Halloween Pet Safety Tips:
🐾Keep 🍫CANDY🍬 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 doesn’t 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.
If you suspect your pet has ingested a toxic substance please 📱Call 888-426-4435 the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center they are open 24 hours - 365 days of the year.
