Your pet may look adorable wearing that saddle or cape for Halloween...
...but you’ll need to take some precautions. Be sure the costume doesn’t impair movement, hearing, sight or the ability to eat or drink.
You’ll need to be careful with candy too, not just chocolate. Candy, gum and baked goods often have xylitol in there. Even a small amount can trigger seizures in dogs. Remember that a lot of dogs are naturally attracted to those crinkly wrappers. Don’t leave those lying around.
Finally, Halloween is scary to pets. Strangers dressed in weird costumes, doorbells and unusual noises and activity can really be hard on a dog. If your pet is sensitive, have a heart and create a safe room. Don’t try to force them to participate in something they can’t understand.
