Loud music, crazy costumes,
laughing and screaming people and delicious food-this might sound like the perfect
Halloween for you and your friends, but it can be a potentially dangerous and
scary time for your pets. With all of the commotion, your pet might behave
inappropriately or become stressed. Below are some ways that you can ensure
your pet stays safe and calm during this frightful holiday.
1 Keep your pets in a crate or cage during the festivities. This
will prevent your dog from biting strangers, and your pet will
probably feel safe in the crate where it has food, water and bedding.
2 Put its license and updated ID tags on your dog or cat in
case someone would accidentally let your indoor pet outside.
3 Inform your guests that feeding your pet is strictly
forbidden. You can even put signs up near the food. Chocolate as well as
xylitol (an artificial
sweetener) is poisonous to dogs.
4 Keep your cats, especially black ones, indoors during
October. You might have to put a litter box, food and water in your bedroom or
guest room, but at least your cat will be safe and sound and less likely to be
tortured or sacrificed.
