How to keep your pets safe during Halloween

Whether it be dressing up your pets for Halloween or having them in the house to prevent children from scaring them, it’s important to take measures to keep your pets safe. Here are some tips to keep your pets stress-free and safe on Halloween.

  • Find a secure place to keep you pets.

    Many pets get loose when the door opens and the presence of little (and big) costumed people often scares them. This increases the chance your pet running away or getting hit by a car. Also make sure that they cannot reach the candy. If your pet has any aggressive tendencies, fear of loud noises, or a habit of excessive barking, place him in a quiet room as far away from your front door as possible. Give them plenty of chew toys, a favorite blanket or anything that comforts your pet. Also consult your vet for tranquilizers.
