Safety Concerns on Halloween

As Halloween approaches, we must remember and be aware of all safety concerns for our pets. A couple of things to remember this Halloween:

1. Chocolate is toxic for dogs, keep all candy (especially chocolate) away from your furry family members this time of year.
2. Ensure you don’t leave your dog in the back yard, or in the car. Instead, bring them with you trick or treating or leave them in the house.
3. Keep your pet away from the door if you are handing out candies this Halloween, many dogs are protective over their homes it is better to keep them away from the door to reduce stress.
4. Keep cats and dogs away from lit candles, pumpkins or animatronic toys this season to ensure your pet doesn’t get hurt or knock it over.
5. Ensure costumes fit properly (Not too big or too small)
