Celebrating Halloween safely with your pet

Halloween is fun, but it can also be unsettling for pets. Chocolate and other sweets can be dangerous for dogs and cats. Pay close attention to what your pet consumes. The doorbell, loud noises and visitors in costume can cause stress for sensitive animals. Provide a quiet place where your pet can retreat. Keep a close eye on the door too, so your dog or cat cannot slip outside unnoticed. You may also hear loud bangs around Halloween. Do you have a pet that is sensitive to stress? Start using calming supplements well in advance.
