Protect Your Furry Family Members:
Follow These Halloween Pet Safety Tips
* Do not ever feed a pet any candy.
Candy, especially chocolate, can be
lethal to an animal
* Restrict Pets to an area where they can
find quiet and less-stressful activities
* Halloween can be a day of stress for family pets. Place them out of danger
* If a Trick-or-Treater, do NOT provoke
someone's pet, whether in a
doorway or in a yard
restrict their movements or eyesight,
impede their breathing, or have anything dangling off them or their costume
* Do not allow your pet near pumpkins, especially if they contain an open flame/candle
* Pick-up and dispose
of all empty candy wrappers
and trick-or-treat bags.
* Place glow sticks
and jewelry up
and out of the
reach of your pet.
They can
be hazardous if ingested
* Be mindful of battery-operated
decorations, electricity sources or
electrical cords. Don't allow chewing!
* Be aware of the activity around you
and all mischievous activities and
people during Halloween season
* Make sure your pet is always properly identified
(microchip, collar and ID tag).
This is in case your pet escapes through an
open door while you're distracted with
your visiting trick-or-treaters
* Loud noises and sudden movements can make your
pet nervous and on edge. Stay aware of their reactions and emotions
pet nervous and on edge. Stay aware of their reactions and emotions
keep your pets away from the festivities and in a safe room.
Masks and costumes change how people look and smell to a pet, so even
familiar people may become frightening.
Put a sign on the door to the safe room.
That way your guests know it’s off-limits.
* Watch your kids! Don't let them
share their candy with a pet
Hope your Halloween celebrations are memorable, safe, fun, and sweet!
