Keep Your Pet Safe and Stylish This Halloween!
Halloween can be a fun time for everyone, including our furry friends. However, it's important to keep our pets safe and happy during this spooky season. Here are some essential tips to ensure a safe and enjoyable Halloween for your pet:
- No Candy for Pets: Keep chocolate, sugar-free candy (especially xylitol), and wrappers far away from curious noses.
- Pet-Friendly Costumes: Ensure costumes fit comfortably and don't have small parts your pet could swallow.
- Secure Identification: With constant door openings, pets can easily slip out—double-check their ID tags or microchips.
- Decor Safety: Be cautious with candles, cords, and small decorations to avoid accidents.
- Quiet Retreat: Provide a calm space if your pet gets overwhelmed by visitors or noise.
What to Do if Your Pet Eats Candy:
If you suspect your pet has ingested candy, it's crucial to act quickly. Here's what you should do:
- Call Your Vet or Animal Poison Control (888-426-4435) immediately.
- Monitor your pet for symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or seizures, especially if they have ingested chocolate or xylitol.
- Act quickly to prevent serious health risks.
