Candy is a big part of Halloween, but it can be dangerous—even deadly—for pets. Make sure to store all Halloween candy in a place where your pet cannot access it. Remind children to keep their candy bags out of reach and immediately throw away any wrappers to prevent accidents.
While dressing up your pet in a costume can be fun, ensure it fits properly and doesn't restrict movement, breathing, or visibility. If your pet shows signs of distress or anxiety, consider alternatives like a festive bandana.
Set up a safe, quiet room where your pet can relax away from the hustle and bustle of doorbell rings and trick-or-treaters. Ensure they cannot escape with the increased door activity.
Keep lit pumpkins and candles out of reach, use battery-operated candles instead, and secure electrical cords away from curious pets.
Ensure your pet is wearing a collar with up-to-date ID tags and that their microchip information is current. This will help with reunification if they escape.
Keep pets indoors during Halloween night to protect them from potential dangers. If outside, supervise them closely and keep them leashed.
Monitor your pet for signs of anxiety, such as pacing or excessive barking. Provide a calm environment and consider using calming aids.
