Pets and Halloween Safety Tips
- Keep all candy, especially chocolate(toxic), away from pets. Make sure used wrappers are discarded and your pet is not able to dig them out of the trash.
- Place decorations out of the reach of your pets. Accidental ingestion of decorative items could cause choking or result in the need for surgery.
- Designate a secure spot for your pets inside your home. Trick or treaters come and go all evening and your pets could slip out an open door.
- Exercise caution when walking your pets outside. Scan the ground for dropped pieces of candy that your pets could consume. Carry a small flashlight if it’s dark.
- Pet costumes should be roomy, reflective and fire retardant.
Halloween is a fun time for people and pets. Keep your pets safe. Be a Good Human. Happy Halloween.
