Halloween isn't always a happy time for our four legged friends.
There are a few things we can to do to make it easier on our pets.
- Don't leave your pooch out in the yard for someone to steal.
Dogs can be targets for cruel, random acts of violence.
No chocolate trick or treat candies.
It's poison for dogs. (The amount needed to cause damage is debatable, but it is best to be safe and offer none.)
Dogs can knock over jack-o-lanterns with their tails and can cause serious injury.
Be sure to keep all candles out of your children and pets reach.
DO NOT dress your dog in a costume unless he/she absolutely loves it.
Dog costumes can be constricting, annoying or unsafe and can add stress to your dog's mental health.
Let only the most social dogs visit guests during the trick or treat hour.
Too many visitors make for a noisy and crazy household and your dog won't know who's an intruder or not.
Sometimes it may be best to put your dog in a quiet place, such as his crate, until all the excitement is over.
Another safe tip: Bring any pet that is primary black indoors on Halloween, especially black cats.
Following these simple tips can make Halloween a happier time for everyone.
