Hallowe'en is full of excited kids running about - and even a normally friendly and calm pet may nip someone. Better to keep pooch at home where he can spend the time snoozing on his favorite blanket or playing with a toy. If you do take your dog out, be sure to keep him on a very short leash. Beware of feeding your pets Hallowe'en treats. Candy is not suitable for your pet - and chocolate, in particular, is toxic.
Chocolate can cause vomiting, restlessness, heart disturbances, and even death.
Keep candy out of your pet's reach and tell children not to share with the pet. If you suspect your pet may have consumed candy, contact your vet immediately. Check your pet's cute little costume. If you like to dress up your pet for Hallowe'en, be sure to carefully remove all elastics and other fasteners when removing his costume. Hallowe'en is a great time for families to get out and enjoy themselves.
