Treats are not so sweet
Chocolate in all forms is dangerous to dogs, in fact it can be
deadly. Tin foil and cellophane wrappers are also not good
for the digestive system. Keep treats out of range from your
pooch so he doesn't ingest any. If your dog does get into the
treat bag, immediately call your vet.
Decorations not fit for dogs
Pumpkins, hay and cornstalks are popular for this festive season
but if ingested by your dog can cause stomach upset or even
worse. If you are planning on putting candles in your jack
o'lanterns, keep them out of range of your pooch for safety's
sake.
Costumed canines
If you are dressing your dog up, be sure that your dog is
comfortable being in costume. Many dogs soak up the extra
attention, but some dogs can become extra stressed. Your
dog's Halloween costume should fit properly and not restrict your
dog's ability to hear, see or breathe. If your canine is
costumed, he should be supervised the entire time he is in
costume.
Trick or Treat - not running out the door
Ensure that your dog does not run out the door when Trick or
Treaters come around. Take the time to leash your pooch or
have a space they can stay safely when you are at the
door.
Happy Howl-a-ween!
