Halloween pets


Halloween can be a time of celebration and entertainment of the year for children and families, but for pets it can be stressful and even dangerous. Here are some tips to keep your pets happy and safe Halloween. May some readers be surprised to learn that one of the most dangerous for your pet is Halloween candy, especially chocolate, which can be dangerous and even deadly to pets. Chocolate can cause nervousness, tremors, vomiting, diarrhea, increased heart rate and, in severe cases, seizure and death.

Packaging, such as aluminum foil, can get caught in your pet's digestive tract and make them sick or cause death. There are many recipes for homemade dog and cat treats and you can always make a note of Halloween. If you're like me and have no idea how to make pet treats of any kind, you may get a box of dog or cat to treat pets at a bakery or order online before hand.

If you have inside of visitors for the evening, remind your guests not to give your pet all the candy, no matter how cute they think he or she is. Tell them of the health risks involved in candy and pets. It will be easier to say how everyone from the outset that to say to every person who try to share a treatment with your pet. If you have a party inside, seriously consider putting your dog or cat in a room where they will not be disrupted. Secluding your pets in a quiet room away from Halloween activities ease your mind and allow you to enjoy your guests. It will also ensure that your pet will not panic and escape when the bell rings-trick-or-get treatment or they become threatened or aggressive at the sight of costumed, few people .

Many animal shelters make black cats available for adoption the week before Halloween because of black cat abuse. These poor animals have in the past been the target of cruel activities Halloween. It is probably best to keep black cats indoors for the whole week of Halloween. On this night of Halloween, try to keep all pets safely indoors in any time. often with an open door, keep pets safe for they do not end up leaving with a band of trick-or-treatment. Keep pets on a shorter than normal leash if you plan walking outside on Halloween.

Always ensure that any open flames (like candles or jack-o-lanterns) are outside the scope (of pets and children). Not only is your pet a fire, but they could burn themselves in the process.

If you go to dress your pet in a costume, keep in mind that, unless the dog or cat is very receptive to this kind of thing, you could be the source of this malaise and stress. Personally, I see nothing wrong with dressing your animal if they are in agreement with him, but on a long Halloween, as they must also wear a collar with ID tag, just in case.
