Halloween Pet Safety Tips From Your Family At Lawndale Pet Hospital
How can I keep my pets safe during Halloween?
Keep your pets spook-tacularly safe with these Halloween tips. If you're dressing up your pet, make sure your pet is comfortable and the costume doesn't restrict movement, vision, or breathing. Avoid small, chewable pieces that could become choking hazards.
What should I do with Halloween candy around my pets?
Keep all candy, especially chocolate and sugar-free treats, out of reach. Even small amounts can be toxic to pets. If your pet gets ahold of something they shouldn't have, call us or poison control immediately.
Are there any decorations I should be concerned about?
Watch out for lit pumpkins and dangling decorations. Curious pets might knock them over or get tangled, leading to burns or other injuries.
How can I help my pet if they get anxious during Halloween?
Pets can get anxious with the constant doorbell ringing or motion-activated decorations. To reduce stress, consider keeping them in a quiet, secure room and ask us about medication that can help.
How do I prevent my pet from getting lost during Halloween?
Halloween's chaos can lead to lost pets. Ensure your pet's collar has updated tags and confirm their microchip information is current.
Follow these tips so your pet has a fright-free Halloween night.
