Halloween Precautions For Pets And Animal

Halloween for some of us brings great memories of dressing up

, trick-or-treating with a posse of friends, ringing the neighbors doorbells, and ending our evening at home with mounds of candy. Each one of these activities can spell trouble for your pet if you don't exercise caution. Use Common Sense The very best advice is to find a safe, comfortable place for your dogs and cats to rest during Trick-or-Treat time. Keep them out of the Halloween hub-bub. They don't care about Halloween, and in fact, it can be a really scary experience for them with a steady stream of painted, sugar-filled children shouting "Trick-or-Treat." If you are unable to provide a safe, quiet place for your pet, an easy solution is to contact your local cat boarding or dog boarding facility to care for your beloved pet for the evening. If you do choose to keep your pet at home for the evening, set up your snack table on your porch or driveway in order to avoid the constant ringing of the doorbell. And don't decide that Halloween's the best time to start dressing up your dog or cat! If they're not in the habit of being dressed up, it will be another stressor to them.

Also, be cautious of lit jack-o-lanterns and candles; dogs can have uncontrollable tails at times! Be Very Careful with the Candy! Over-consumption of candy for humans can be uncomfortable. For our pets it can be deadly! Be cautious of "dumping" the

candy somewhere. Chocolate and certain chewing gums can be poisonous to dogs, and digesting wrappers of any kind can be fatal if they become lodged in the digestive tract. Keep Your Cats Inside During Halloween! If you own a cat and let it go outside, remember that this a bad time of year for cats; black cats are particularly vulnerable. Vicious people tend to find Halloween an excuse to hurt or kill them.

Keep them inside for a few days and nights. While they may whine a bit because they are used to going outside, they'll be safer in the house where you can keep an eye on them. If you dont feel that you can keep your cat indoors, please consider a pet boarding facility or pet hotel. They will take care of your beloved pet so you can focus on your Halloween evening. Again, let's keep Halloween fun for us and safe our beloved pets! Description- This article reminds pet owners about the importance of keeping their pets healthy and happy during Trick or Treat time. Halloween can be a scary time for dogs and cats. If pet owners are unable to provide a quiet and safe environment, they should consider pet boarding or doggie daycare facilities for the evening.
