pets halloween

The constant ringing of door bells can be quite trying for your four-legged friends on Halloween. A Veterinarian for the North Carolina Veterinary Association said Halloween is a favorite holiday of many Americans, and most of us enjoy getting dressed up, handing out candy or handing out with our family and friends. While you may want to get your pets involved,

remember the dangers posed to pets during Halloween.

Keep your pets safe with these simple tips:

*Candy is for humans only. Your furry friends won’t react well to any “tricks,” as candy can be very dangerous for pets. This is especially true with chocolate. If you do want to give your pet something yummy, how about a special pet treat instead?

*If you are taking your dog trick-or-treating with the family, make sure the pets is on a leash and can behave nicely with others.

*Protect your pets from pumpkins as well – if your dog or cat tries to nibble on a pumpkin, they may find themselves with an upset stomach and an unwanted visit to the vet.

*Some pets love playing dress-up, others do not. Before you put a Halloween costume on your pet, make sure they will enjoy it!

*If you have an inside pet, try to keep them in a separate room away from the front door during trick-or-treating hours. You wouldn’t want to risk spooking your pet or your trick-or-treaters.

*Your yard may look great with all those lights and decorations. Make sure they don’t try to gnaw on cords or eat any decorations.

*Make sure that your pet has proper identification in case they wander away from your home. This includes ID tags and microchips.
