Keep your pets safe this Halloween with these tips from our good friends at Animal Care Services. - Chocolate of any type, even a nibble, can be toxic and potentially fatal to dogs and cats. Keep holiday goodies away from pets. - Talk to your kids about the danger of giving pets Halloween treats. - Cellophane and foil wrappers, lollipop and caramel apple sticks should be thrown away immediately. They pose a choking hazard, if swallowed. - Trick-or-treating may be fun for the family, but the constant ringing of the doorbell can scare your pet. Provide a quiet, safe place for your pet to relax. - Remember that holiday masks and costumes could be threatening to pets. Fear may lead to protective or aggressive behavior like biting and growling. - Keep Halloween decorations out of reach. Jack-o-lantern candles and strings of lights can spark curiosity in pets. - Not all pets will tolerate wearing a costume or embellished collar. Instead, provide a holiday-themed treat for pets to enjoy.
