Halloween is right around the corner! During that time, it’s best for you and your pet to stay safe. To help do that, here are safety halloween tips for your pet! …Or pets.
First Safety Halloween Tip: Don’t leave dogs in the yard on Halloween night
First of all, it may be that with so much noise and movement your dog can get nervous or scared. Therefore, it is preferable that you keep it inside and control it. Also, believe it or not, there are bad jokers who like to annoy or hurt dogs. So, it’s better to keep them away from certain people who go trick or treating.
Trick-and-treat treats are not for pets
Halloween candy is bad for animals. Artificial sweeteners can be poisonous to dogs, and chocolate. Especially dark chocolate, can be dangerous and even deadly to dogs and cats. So try not to find any candy lying around, much less that your child or little sibling wants to share some of their trick-or-treat candy.
Cats must be indoors a few days before
If you have a cat that is always outside, free, and walks everywhere, it is best to get it used a couple of days before to be inside. It is that cats, and mainly black ones, can be victims of jokes or kidnappings during Halloween. Watch out!
Keep pumpkins out of the reach of your pets
Did you know that if your pet consumes pumpkin in large quantities, it can have gastrointestinal problems such as an intestinal blockage? So try not to have any pumpkin within reach so they do not run the risk of eating it without you noticing. And speaking of pumpkins…
Keep pumpkins with candles out of reach
If you have the pumpkin with a lit candle inside and your dog gets too close to it because of their nerves, they can get burned and have a very bad time. So you better put them at a height they can’t reach.Â

Keep your pets away from the door that night
You have to understand that the fact that many strangers arrive to knock on the door, and also dressed in unusual costumes, can not only make them nervous or scare them, but it can also cause your pet to react violently to visitors. So the best thing is that they are far from the door, don’t you think? When it comes to safety Halloween tips, it’s best to do that.
Another Important Safety Halloween Tip: Make them an ID if they don’t have it
In case your pet can escape due to noise or how nervous it has become, it is best to have an identification tag so that it can be returned home as soon as possible. Make sure you have all your data and updated.
If you will put a costume on your pet, make it safe
If you are someone who loves Halloween costumes for pets and you think your best friend will look super cute, make sure that it lets them move freely, and allows them to hear, breathe, bark, and eat normally.
Make them wear the costume a few days before
To avoid a problem with their costume during the night when you will be very busy opening the door, try on the outfit a few days before to verify that it does not cause allergies and allows them to move freely. It will look so cute!
Last Safety Halloween Tip: Be careful with the wires of the ornament lights
Remember that dogs like to chew on everything that comes their way, so try to avoid using gum from the light cord that you have put up as a Halloween ornament. Safety is the most important!
