8 pet safety tips for Halloween from the LA SPCA 1. Chocolate and candies can be toxic to your pets so be sure to keep that candy bowl out of your pet’s reach. 2. Only dress your pet in a costume if they enjoy it! If your pet clearly dislikes being in a costume don’t force them to wear one. 3. Make sure their costume doesnt restrict their ability to move, see, breathe, bark or meow. Equally important, make sure there are no small pieces on the costume that your pet can chew off and swallow. 4. Halloween plants like pumpkins and corn can give your pet a stomach ache. 5. Bring all pets indoors before the trick-or-treating begins. Outdoor cats and dogs left in the backyard can fall victim to Halloween pranks. 6. Keep your pet away from the front door and the trick-or-treaters. With so many strangers coming to your door, this will help keep your pet’s stress level down and reduce the chance of your pet running away. 7. Keep pumpkins with candles, wires and cords from holiday decorations out of your pet’s reach. 8. Make sure your pet has proper ID tags and is micro-chipped in case they get separated from you!
